What does the word salley mean?

Answer 1

== == This word means "willow" and comes from the Irish word "saileach" for willow. The Latin for willow is "salix", which is the name of the genus used today. W. B. Yeats wrote a poem called "Down by the Salley Gardens" (published 1889) after visiting a village where a row of thatched cottages each had a garden with willows in.

Willows were used for thatching and basket making. Today the word is sometimes spelled "sally" but the earlier spelling was "salley". This entry replaces the previous attempt about a completely different word.

It's a misspelling. The word is sally.
