Calm on the surface, but the deepest water hides the strongest currents underneath.
means Water that lies flat and motionless — a pond, a pooled stretch of river, or any reach where the current has gone quiet rather than rushing.
from A plain compound of two old Germanic words: "still," meaning quiet or motionless (from Old English "stille"), and "water" (Old English "wæter"). English has long paired them, and the phrase lives most famously in the proverb "still waters run deep," recorded in various forms for centuries — the idea that a calm surface can hide unseen depth is older than the saying itself.
