stills

Moonshine distillation apparatus

Stills are individual frames extracted from motion pictures or video, capturing a single moment from moving footage.

The term also refers to photographs taken on a film set for promotional purposes.

In a different sense, stills are apparatus used for distilling liquids, particularly alcohol—the copper pot stills of whiskey distilleries being iconic examples.

As a verb form, stills means calms or quiets: She stills the baby with a lullaby.
