The ability to move up, out, or anywhere else without asking permission twice.

means The capacity to move or be moved — whether that's changing physical location, shifting between social or economic positions, or simply having the freedom to go.

from From Latin 'mobilitas,' built on 'mobilis' (movable, easily moved), itself a contraction of 'movibilis' from 'movere' (to move). The same root gives us 'motion,' 'motive,' and 'momentum.' The Latin adjective originally described anything prone to shifting — fickle crowds, restless minds, unstable fortunes — before English narrowed it toward the more literal senses of movement and, later, the social climbing sense of moving up a class ladder.
