Who named the sally port sally?

The term "sally port" originated from the military, where it referred to a secure entrance or exit in fortifications that allowed troops to make sorties or "sallies" against an enemy. The Word "sally" derives from the Old French Word "sali," meaning "to leap or jump out." Thus, the name reflects the function of the port as a means for soldiers to swiftly exit the fortification to engage in battle.
