stall

A stall is a small room or area, usually for one person, animal, etc.

Example: I stepped into a shower stall and turned on the cold water.

A stall is when something flying loses lift because it is not moving at a good angle to the air.

Example: The airplane went into a stall and started dropping.

If something stalls, it stops improving or progressing.

Example: Talks between Israel and the Palestinians have stalled.

If an engine or vehicle stalls, it stops working because there is too much load and not enough fuel.

Example: The truck was stalled in the middle of the street.

If you stall, you purposefully slow things down or make people wait because you're not ready.

Example: "Can you tell me again?" she said, stalling for time.
