Stan's bay (6)
I believe the answer is:
laurel
I believe this is a double definition.
'stan's' is the first definition.
(comedian Stan Laurel is an example)
'bay' is the second definition.
(as in the bay laurel tree)
(Other definitions for laurel that I've seen before include "literary award" , "plant" , "Its leaves are a symbol of victory" , "Evergreen tree also called bay" , "Hardy's chum" .)
