“Stanch” (STANCH) – from the French – means “stop a liquid from flowing.”

Example (as used by T. Coraghessan Boyle in A Friend of the Earth): “Out of the corner of my eye I can see one of Shiggy’s daughters busy at the rear door with a mop and a mountain of napkins, furious activity, but not enough to stanch the flow of water seeping inexorably into the room.”
