Staunch (flow) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stem

I believe this is a double definition.

'staunch' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'flow' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stem that I've seen before include "Thin vertical part of glass or plant" , "Restrain the flow of" , "Stalk; stop (flow)" , "Flower's stick" , "Slender upright part, of flower or wineglass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
