Morphology
static = stat + ic
The adjective relates to the idea of being unchanged or standing still, but the combining form 'stat' is not a standalone English word, so learners may only partially infer the meaning from components.
Etymology
Static comes from the Greek root stat- meaning 'to stand', the same idea as the English word stand, so static describes things that are 'not moving' or that 'stay the same' over time.
