Stop business, enthralled by stone church (6)
I believe the answer is:
scotch
'stop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'business enthralled by stone church' is the wordplay.
'business' becomes 'co'.
'enthralled by' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('enthral' can mean 'capture').
'stone' becomes 'st'.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'co' placed within 'st' is 'scot'.
'scot'+'ch'='SCOTCH'
(Other definitions for scotch that I've seen before include "tot" , "providing nursery facility in school" , "Northern whisky" , "Put an end to - in Caledonia?" , "Kind of whisky spelt without an e" .)
