motionlessness
Absence of movement
Motionlessness is the state of being completely still, without any movement.
The word emphasizes total absence of motion rather than mere stillness: The motionlessness of the deer made it nearly invisible.
It often describes a deliberate or striking quality of stillness: an eerie motionlessness settled over the room.
