Morphology
The noun is compositionally built from 'call' (to demand repayment) + 'loan' (amount borrowed), so its meaning — a loan that can be demanded/repaid on the lender's request — is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a transparent, regular nominalization pattern (a loan that is 'called') and would be understandable to learners who know both constituent senses.
Etymology
The noun call loan comes from a simple image: a lender can call the loan back by 'asking for' the money at any time. So, it means a loan that must be repaid whenever the lender asks.
