Stop is a negative status in Final Fantasy VI. A unit affected by stop will have its ATB bar halted, unable to act or evade attacks. Stop pauses the timer on most effects that wear off over time, such as the reflect status. If Terra's Trance gauge expires while she is stopped, she remains in Trance until KO'd or until the end of battle. Stop also eventually wears off and it is removed at the end of battle. Stopped units have a pink outline on their battle sprite.
