Still hissing? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

static

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'still' is the first definition.
('static' can be a synonym of 'still')

'hissing?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for static that I've seen before include "Still - type of electricity" , "Unmoving, unchanging" , "stable" , "Its cat (anag)" , "Inert, motionless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
