From 'still', Old English 'stille' (motionless, calm). The comparative suffix '-er' is added to make the comparison between two things.
The word 'still' has been used for over 1,200 years to mean both 'motionless' and 'at this moment'—they seem unrelated, but both connect to the idea of 'continuing in one state without change!'
