immobile
An immobile object or person can't move. For example, a statue is an immobile sculpture.
The word "immobile" is often used to describe things that are stuck or fixed in one place. Imagine you're at a museum and there's an old chair on display – it's been there for so long that it's become part of the exhibit, an immobile piece of furniture. When people talk about cities or buildings being immobile, they mean that they can't be easily moved to another location. This usually refers to permanent structures like houses, bridges, or monuments. If you think about it, "immobile" is quite the opposite of "mobile," which means something can move around freely.
