STILL

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 920 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STILL . (I) (O. Eng. stille, a word appearing in many Teutonic
languages
 , all derived from the
root
 , meaning to set in position or rest, seen in " stall," Ger. stellen, &c.), motionless, noiseless, or when used of wines or
mineral
  waters, having little or no effervescence. As an adverb, " still" has preserved the
original
  sense of " that which preserves its position," and thus means continually, permanently, now as before. (2) From the shortened form of " distil," Lat. distillare, to drip, trickle down, stilla, a drop, dim. of stiria. The older word for a " still " in
English
  was stillatory,
Medieval
  Latin stillatorium, an apparatus for
heating
  substances and condensing the vapours
(see
DISTILLATION
  and
SPIRITS
 ).
