inertly
In motionless fashion
In an inert manner—without motion, activity, or resistance.
Something lying inertly stays put, passive and unmoving: He lay inertly on the couch, staring at the ceiling.
The word often suggests a lifelessness or lack of responsiveness that might be expected or desired.
