Crossword Genius

Baffle the remainder (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stump

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'baffle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the remainder' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stump that I've seen before include "Confound" , "What's left after cutting" , "Cricket post" , "clear out of money" , "Truncated trunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
