What does STASIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A state in which nothing changes, moves or develops; a standstill, or, in medicine, a slowing or stopping of the normal flow of a body fluid.
Stasis describes any situation, political, economic or personal, that has stopped developing and settled into an unchanging balance, often used with a critical edge to suggest stagnation rather than healthy stability. In medicine the same word names a specific slowing of blood or other fluid in part of the body, as in venous stasis. Both senses share the Greek root meaning a standing still.
How STASIS is used
Used in general writing for prolonged inactivity, and as a precise medical term for fluid stagnation in the body.
