Originate (from) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stem

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">originate from</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for stem that I've seen before include "Slender upright part of wine glass" , "Staunch - stalk" , "Check - part of a plant" , "Peduncle" , "Upward part of a plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Times, the LA Times, The New York Times, the Universal and the Newsday.
