Comment: The current definition seems too narrow. 停留 doesn't necessarily imply a stopover or sojourn, and it also has a common figurative sense that isn't covered.

TP examples of the physical sense include:

台鐵海風號……會在頭城鎮停留
"The TRA Sea Breeze train ... stops at Toucheng."

不能停留的地方,繞一繞也好。
"At places where [he] couldn't stay, making a circuit would do."

我們在司馬庫斯停留數天……
"We stayed in Smangus for several days ..."

The figurative "remain at a stage / level" sense is also common:

「聯盟」一詞雖然時髦,卻始終停留在理念、討論的層次……

不僅僅是停留在「球迷文化」的階段……

The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary glosses 停留 as "stay for a time; stop; remain", which seems to capture the physical sense well without implying temporary residence or a stopover. I'll adopt that wording.
Diff:
- 停留 停留 [ting2 liu2] /to stay somewhere temporarily/to stop over/
+ 停留 停留 [[ting2liu2]] /to stay for a time; to stop; to remain/to remain (at a stage, level etc)/
