Adjective

motionless (not comparable)

1. At rest, stationary, immobile, not moving.
   • 1913, Robert Barr, chapter 4, in Lord Stranleigh Abroad:

     Nothing could be more business-like than the construction of the stout dams, and nothing more gently rural than the limpid lakes, with the grand old forest trees marshalled round their margins like a veteran army that had marched down to drink, only to be stricken motionless at the water’s edge.
