Complete absence of motion (9)

I believe the answer is:

stillness

(Other definitions for stillness that I've seen before include "Tranquillity, calm" , "Lack of movement" , "Tells sins in motionless silence" , "Quiet, calm" , "Tranquil silence, calmness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
