I agree with this wiki answer: "A sally port is a small, easily secured door in a castle wall or other fortification. During a seige, defending raiding parties would "sally forth" or "sortie" from these ports and attack the besiegers. These raids would attempt to slow the offensive siege process."

The saying "sally forth" comes from military terminology, referring to a swift and sudden movement forward from a defensive position. It has evolved to mean setting out with energy and determination, often used in a non-military context to encourage action and boldness.
