  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Movable  \Mov"a*ble\,  n.;  pl  {Movables}. 
  1.  An  article  of  wares  or  goods;  a  commodity;  a  piece  of 
  property  not  fixed,  or  not  a  part  of  real  estate; 
  generally,  in  the  plural,  goods;  wares;  furniture. 
 
  Furnished  with  the  most  rich  and  princely  movables. 
  --Evelyn. 
 
  2.  (Rom.  Law)  Property  not  attached  to  the  soil. 
 
  Note:  The  word  is  not  convertible  with  personal  property, 
  since  rents  and  similar  incidents  of  the  soil  which  are 
  personal  property  by  our  law  are  immovables  by  the 
  Roman  law.  --Wharton.
