What does STILL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not moving; free from sound or disturbance; calm and motionless.
Water described as still shows no visible movement or ripples, and a room or a night called still is unusually quiet and undisturbed. Photographers and portrait sitters are often asked to keep still so that an image does not blur, showing that the word describes the absence of motion rather than simply quiet. The same spelling, still, also works as an adverb meaning up to now or nevertheless, and as a noun for the apparatus used to distil alcohol, though those are separate senses from the adjective. A still evening or a still lake often carries a peaceful, almost held-breath quality in descriptive writing.
