Motionless or not moving, or continuing to be true or happen up to the present time.

Where the word comes from

From Old English "stille," meaning motionless or calm. This derives from Proto-Germanic "*stiljaz," related to standing or placing something upright.

The noun "still" (as in a distillery apparatus) comes from the verb, referring to the vessel where liquid is heated and cooled.
