stabile

[prettygoodword]

Back to a week of Words My True Love Gave Me. Yes, there's more in this little red bag. Onward!


stabile - adj., fixed in position, immobile, stable. n., an abstract sculpture resembling a mobile but having no moving parts.


Calder made the latter. From the same Latin root as stable, so no, not simply a misspelling of it.
