STILLS Meaning and Definition

1. Stills, as a noun, refers to a series of photographs taken in quick succession, intended to capture or freeze a particular moment or movement. These stills can provide a visual representation of a specific event, action, or scene, often used in film or video production as a means of analyzing or promoting the work. The term is derived from the idea of freezing or stilling a motion, freezing it in time for examination or enjoyment.

   As a verb, "stills" refers to the action of capturing a sequence of photographs or freezing a certain moment, typically using a camera or recording device. This process allows for the creation of still images or frames, which can be used individually or together to convey a story or capture the essence of a certain subject. By isolating a single frame from a moving image, stills can provide a deeper understanding or appreciation of the original footage.

   In addition to film and video production, stills are also commonly used in photography and other visual arts to capture and document scenes, people, or objects. They serve as a tool for preserving memories, conveying emotions or messages, and exploring artistic expression. Stills can be displayed as standalone works of art, used in promotional material, or incorporated into multimedia projects.

Etymology of STILLS

The word "stills" has two main origins:

1. From Middle English "stille" (14th century): This word originated from the Old English "stille" or "stellan" which means "to quiet, calm, or make still". It is related to the Old Norse "stillinn" and Old High German "stillen", all of which have the same meaning.

2. From Old English "stille" (8th century): This word was used to refer to a contrivance used in the distillation process. It comes from the Old High German "stilli" which means "distilling apparatus". The word ultimately originates from the Latin "stillare", meaning "to drip or drop".

Both of these origins have contributed to the modern meaning of "stills" as either a verb meaning "to make calm or quiet" or as a noun referring to photographs taken from films or television shows.
