Period when stuffed shirt finally gets seduced by bribe? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

full stop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'period' is the definition.
('full stop' can be a synonym of 'period')

'stuffed shirt finally gets seduced by bribe?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'stuffed' could be 'full' ('full' can be similar in meaning to 'stuffed') and 'full' is located in the answer.
'shirt' could be 'top' and 'top' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'when' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
