Pre-reform spelling (used until 1943 in Brazil and 1911 in Portugal) of caloso.
- 1938, Graciliano Ramos, “Fuga [Escape]”, in Vidas Seccas [Barren Lives], Rio de Janeiro: Livraria José Olympio Editora, page 188:
  Os pés callosos, duros como cascos, mettidos em alpercatas novas, caminhariam mezes.
  His callous feet, hard as hooves, shoved into new espadrilles, would walk for months.

Semi-learned borrowing from Latin callōsus. By surface analysis, callo +‎ -oso.
