A stayed sentence means it is being held aside, the sentence does not have to be served at this time. Usually, a judge will stay a sentence pending certain conditions, alcohol or drug counselling, get a job, education, etc. If the conditions are met, the sentence will never have to be served. If they are not, the sentence is imposed.
Good luck, I hope this helps.

Staying the sentence means putting it off for a time. Usually this is done to give the person sentenced some time to put their affairs in order before going off for several months.
