Mystify (5)

I believe the answer is:

stump

'mystify' is the definition.
(I know that stump is a type of mystify)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stump that I've seen before include "Flummox" , "Nonplus" , "What's left after cutting" , "Truncated trunk" , "Fox" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, The Washington Post, The Telegraph, the L.A. Times Daily, The Sun and The Times.
