What's the difference between mobile and ostensible?

Mobile


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being moved; not fixed in place or condition; movable.
  • (a.) Characterized by an extreme degree of fluidity; moving or flowing with great freedom; as, benzine and mercury are mobile liquids; -- opposed to viscous, viscoidal, or oily.
  • (a.) Easily moved in feeling, purpose, or direction; excitable; changeable; fickle.
  • (a.) Changing in appearance and expression under the influence of the mind; as, mobile features.
  • (a.) Capable of being moved, aroused, or excited; capable of spontaneous movement.
  • (a.) The mob; the populace.

Ostensible


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being shown; proper or intended to be shown.
  • (a.) Shown; exhibited; declared; avowed; professed; apparent; -- often used as opposed to real or actual; as, an ostensible reason, motive, or aim.
