Stun is a debilitating effect that prevents a target from attacking, defending, or moving for a short time. The simplest way to Stun an enemy is to interrupt them while casting a spell, most easily with a Bash attack. You can escape from a Stun using a Break Free action. Certain tougher enemies are immune to Stun effects.
