statico

Statico is an Italian adjective meaning stationary, not moving, or unchanging. It is formed from Latin stat- “to stand” and is used across disciplines to denote a lack of change over time. In everyday Italian, statico contrasts with dinamico or dinamica, which describe motion or variability. The term appears in technical contexts as well as ordinary language to qualify objects, states, and processes that remain fixed or constant.

In physics and engineering, statico is used in expressions such as campo elettrico statico (static electric field), carico statico (static load), or stato statico (static state). The branch of mechanics known as statica studies structures under loads that do not vary with time. In electrical engineering, electrostatics concerns charge distributions at rest, i.e., static charges.

In computing and information technology, statico indicates non-changing elements during program execution or delivery. Examples include variabile statica and metodo statico in programming languages, analisi statica of code, and contenuto statico or risorse statiche such as images and stylesheets served without dynamic processing.

In media and communication, immagine statica or frame statico refers to a still image or a single frame in video. The term is also used to describe content that does not change over time, as opposed to dynamic content in web design or multimedia systems.
