Pronunciation: /ˈstəːləs/

adj

Etymology: From stir + -less.

  1. Motionless, still.

    “For there it lies so tranquil, so beloved, / All that it hath of Life with us is living; / So gentle, stirless, helpless, and unmoved, / And all unconscious of the joy 't is giving [...].”

    “Like one dead she sat and waited, Listening to the stirless silence, Ages in a second, till, Lightly leaping, came her lover, And, still smiling, laid the sweet Snow-white blossom at her feet.”
