leave home
Exit one's residence
To leave home is to move out of the residence where you grew up, establishing independent living: She left home at eighteen for college.
The phrase marks a significant life transition—from dependent child to self-sufficient adult.
It can also mean simply departing one's house: I leave home at seven every morning.
