The word 'stillness' is a noun, a word for a lack of motion or a lack of sound; a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

The stillness of the lake in the early morning is so calming.

  • subject of the sentence

I enjoy reading on the patio which the stillness there permits.

  • subject of the relative clause

The sound of crickets filled the stillness of the night.

  • direct object of the verb 'filled'

We're grateful for the stillness when the children are finally asleep.

  • object of the preposition 'for'
