The verb
stanch has a lot in common with the adjective
staunch, meaning "steadfast." Not only do both words derive from the Anglo-French word
estancher (which has the same meaning as
stanch),
but the spelling "s-t-a-n-c-h" is sometimes used for the adjective, and
the spelling "s-t-a-u-n-c-h" is
sometimes used for the verb. Although
both spelling variants have been in reputable use for centuries and both
are perfectly standard for either the verb or adjective,
stanch is the form used most often for the verb and
staunch is the most common variant for the adjective.
