As a note,
召す(めす)
An old Japanese word, the original meaning of which is "to look", a (very) polite form of "見る“.
Lots of the derivative meanings came out. e.g,
- reign ( < look down their country from the hill)
- call/summon/marry (< let someone stand in front of them and look)
- drink, eat, wear, ride, draw, buy, and so on
(< let something put in front of them and look)
In modern Japanese, we say:
- お召し物: 「服」の敬語
- 召し上がる: 「食べる」の敬語
- 召使い:servant ( a person who is called and used)
