Check (4)

Ross

'check' is the definition.
(both can mean to control or stop)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stem that I've seen before include "something growing?" , "supporter of tobacco?" , "Staunch - support" , "part of a ship" , "Supporting structure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Sun, The Wall Street Journal, The Irish Independent, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The New York Times.
