Crossword Genius

Still voice? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passive

I believe this is a double definition.

'still' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'voice?' is the second definition.
(I know that passive is a type of voice)

(Other definitions for passive that I've seen before include "Inactive or non-resistant" , "Not actively responsive" , "Unresisting" , "sort of voice" , "Inert, lethargic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
