mobile
Able to relocate
Mobile describes something capable of moving or being moved.
A mobile phone travels with you; a mobile home can be relocated (though rarely is).
Mobile forces move quickly across terrain.
A mobile face is expressive, its features shifting easily.
As a noun, a mobile is a hanging sculpture with balanced parts that move with air currents, popularized by Alexander Calder.
The word also applies to social movement: upwardly mobile means rising in status or wealth. (Capitalized Mobile is a city in Alabama.)
