Q. Is the saying
Beckon call or
beck and call?
A. The term
"beck and call" used in a sentence is "Sue has her husband running at her beck and call." Beck is a short term for "Beconing" (
summoning someone to you as if by order) and call means to call out or demand. In other words the person who has people coming to their "beck and call" is bossy and over-powering and in control.
