stock-still
Stock-still refers to absolute motionlessness, without any movement or action. This term is usually used to describe a person, animal, or even an object staying immobile or standing completely still. The use of 'stock' in this phrase may have originated from an old word 'stok' that meant a stump of a tree or post; these objects symbolize a steadfast immobility.
