came to rest
Ceased all movement
Came to rest describes something that was moving and then stopped, settling into a stationary position.
The phrase implies a gradual or natural cessation rather than an abrupt halt: The ball rolled across the green and came to rest near the hole.
It often suggests finality—where something ends up after a journey or tumble: The car skidded off the road and came to rest against a tree.
