JUKUGO:

バス停 ( ばすてい ): bus stop
停止する ( ていしする): suspension or stoppage (i.e. they cut my electricity because I didn't pay the bill). This is usually used in official announcements or bills. You wouldn't say to your friend, "I 停止-ed watching TV." (NP)
停 (bring to a halt) + 止 (stop) = 停止 (suspension or stoppage)
各駅停車 ( かくえきていしゃ ): sure this is a scary and long word, but if you live here, you'll use it everyday： It means "local train" (literally, "stopping at each station train")
各 (each) + 駅 (train station) + 停 (bring to a halt) + 車 (car) = 各駅停車 (local train)
