Fixed or permanently settled; in ballet and fencing, a position or arrangement that doesn't change.
From French 'fixe,' the feminine form of Latin 'fixus.' Used in English for specialized technical terms in dance and fencing.
In ballet, 'regard fixe' (fixed gaze) is the technique where dancers spot on a fixed point to not get dizzy—it's why ballet dancers can spin multiple times without falling over while regular people get nauseated.
