stationary
Not moving or not intended to be moved.
Adjective
This term describes a state of complete stillness or a fixed position. It is often used in technical or formal contexts, such as describing a weather front that does not move or a piece of gym equipment that stays in one spot.
It is frequently confused with stationery, which refers to writing materials. The distinction is a matter of purpose: one refers to the lack of motion, while the other refers to a physical product for correspondence.
