Etymology
The word 'still' originates from the Old English 'stille', meaning calm, quiet, or motionless. Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic 'stila', which conveyed a similar sense of calmness and stillness. Over time, 'still' has evolved in various forms across Germanic languages, including Old High German 'stilli' and Middle Dutch 'stil'. The superlative form 'stillest' combines the base adjective with the superlative suffix, emphasizing the highest degree of stillness. This usage has become increasingly popular in literary contexts to evoke images of serene landscapes or moments of introspection.
