As the word static means motionless or stationary, the static electricity refers to electrons that are stationary. Hence, static electricity is a charge and not a current.

static
"Fenetic"- No, that doesn't exist. I'm not sure what is the opposite of static electricity yet. Static Electricity is a stationary electric charge or a stationary electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud
Electrostatics is the study of electricity at rest. Break down the word: Electro=electricity and static=motionless, as in static friction or stationary.

It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
In current electricity we discuss moving charges while stationary charges are studied in static electricity.
There is no stationary star anywhere in the universe.
The word static means having no motion. In electricity it refers to charge that is stationary. Check out the link below for an excellent exploration of static electricity.
