Morphology
The meaning 'to leave one's home/residence' is directly and transparently derived from 'move' (change place/residence) + 'out' (away from the interior). This motion verb + particle composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings.
Etymology
The phrase move out comes from the picture of packing boxes and carrying furniture out of a home into a truck or the street. That's why it means 'to leave your home or office and take your belongings'.
