Definitions of stop bit:

The bit sent after the data bits, indicating that no more data bits follow. string
techref.massmind.org/techref/glossary.htm
A bit or group of bits that identifies the end of a data word and defines the space between data words.

A bit (actually a timing signal) that represents the end of a character in asynchronous communications. Compare parity bit, start bit.

A signal, usually a binary "1", sometimes used to indicate the end of a byte of transmitted data.

In asynchronous transmissions, stop bits are transmitted to indicate the end of the current data word. Depending on the convention in use, one or two stop bits are used.

In asynchronous communications, a bit that indicates that a byte has just been transmitted. Every byte of data is preceded by a start bit and followed by a stop bit.

This is the bit, always a 1, which terminates the character group in asynchronous transmissions.

The last bit in a character in asynchronous transmission to indicate the ending of the character. By conversion, the Stop Bit is a One ("Mark" condition on the line). Some equipment us4es 1.5 or 2 bits for stop.
