Why do they call it a sally port?
The purpose of a sally port is to deter, defend, and delay against unwanted entry (or exit). The name sally port comes from two words: port from the Latin word portus meaning door and sally from the Latin salire (to jump) or sortie, a military maneuver designed to delay and harass an opposing force.
