Morphology

stanchless + flow

The noun combines 'flow' (clear) with 'stanchless', which is nonstandard but transparently analyzable as stanch (to stop a flow) + -less (without), yielding 'cannot be stopped'. However 'stanch' is rare and not listed here, so a typical B1 learner would need morphological analysis or prior exposure to infer the meaning, making comprehension only partially predictable.

Etymology

Stanchless flow paints a simple picture: stanchless means it cannot be stopped and flow is a moving river or stream, so imagine water that finds new paths around every dam and never stops. So the phrase means 'continuous' or 'cannot be stopped or controlled'.
