The phrase is composed of '電話' (denwa), meaning 'telephone', and 'をします' (o shimasu), which is the polite form of 'をする' (o suru), meaning 'to do' or 'to perform'. So, literally, it means 'to do a telephone' or 'to perform a telephone action', which translates to 'to make a phone call'. The word '電話' (denwa) itself is a compound of '電' (den), meaning 'electricity', and '話' (wa), meaning 'talk' or 'story'. It was coined in Japan as a translation for the English word 'telephone' shortly after its invention in the late 19th century. The combining form 'をします' is a common grammatical construction in Japanese to turn a noun into a verb phrase, indicating the action of performing or doing something related to that noun.
