the.com/summon

means To officially call someone to appear, or to call something forth — whether that's a witness to court or courage to a crisis.

from From Old French 'somondre,' which came from Latin 'summonere' — 'sub' (secretly, under) plus 'monere' (to warn or remind). The original sense was almost sneaky: a quiet, under-the-radar nudge, like a private tip-off, long before it hardened into the booming official command — court orders, demons, and inner reserves of nerve — that we hear in it today.
