    1. In the context of "stanches" (pronounced /stæntʃɪz/) as the third person singular form of the verb "stanch," it refers to the act of stopping the flow or bleeding from a wound. It is a medical or surgical term commonly used to describe the process of controlling bleeding by applying pressure or using medication.
