1. stationary

   Stationary can be defined in different contexts as follows: 1) In physics, it refers to a state in which an object is not in motion. 2) In mathematics, particularly in statistics, a stationary process (or a strict/strictly stationary process or strong/strongly stationary process) is a stochastic process whose unconditional joint probability distribution does not change when shifted in time. 3) In commerce, "stationary" refers to materials used for writing, such as paper and office supplies. Thus, in a general context, stationary refers to an object or condition that remains unchanged or unaltered over time or does not move from its position.
