It can stop one bleeding rent quite easily (9)
Please help me to solve the cryptic clue

Looks like a word for rent (as in ripped) followed by an anagram of quite.

However, that’s not the correct spelling. It should be 10 letters.

Thanks jono, the 10 letter word is commonly used. To make it 9 letter I have to knock of U from synonym of Rent and the 9 resultant 9 letter word also means the same, but very sparingly used. Thanks for helping me to parse the clue.

Surely rent=torn=alternative spelling
