英文词源

sally: sally: [16] To sally is etymologically to ‘jump’. For the word comes ultimately from Latin salīre ‘jump’, source also of English assail, insult, salient, etc. It passed into Old French as salir, which later became saillir. From this was derived a noun saillie ‘jump’, hence ‘sudden breaking out from a defended position to attack’, which English took over and soon turned into a verb. (The name Sally, incidentally, is an alteration of Sarah, by the same phonetic process that produced Del, Hal, Moll, and Tel from Derek, Harry, Mary, and Terence.)
=> salient
Sally: fem. proper name, alteration of Sarah (compare Hal from Harry, Moll from Mary, etc.). Sally Lunn cakes (1780) supposedly named for the woman in Bath who first made them and sold them in the streets. Sally Ann as a nickname for Salvation Army is recorded from 1927.
