Today's Word "impassive"
impassive \im-PASS-iv\ (adjective) - 1 : Devoid of or unsusceptible to emotion. 2 : Showing no sign of emotion or feeling; expressionless.
"The convicted seemed utterly impassive as the judge passed sentence on him, seemingly unaffected by the multiple life sentences that were being handed down."
Impassive is derived from Latin in-, "not" + passivus, "subject to emotion," from passus, past participle of pati, "to suffer."
