This is a correction to my previous answer of "braising". "De-glazing" or "deglacage" is defined as: Technical term used in French cookery for the operation of pouring any liquid into the pan in which food has been cooked in butter or other fat. Wine is used for this purpose, heated and stirred in the pan so that all the concentrated juices are incorporated into it. White or brown stocks, cream, vinegar or alcohol can also be used.

add Grand Marnier to stop it from cooking
I couldn't find any one-word verb for the process, that's why I'm suggesting this 'descriptive' wording.

Όταν λέω "stop it", εννοώ την πάπια, φυσικά, κι ό,τι άλλο υπάρχει μες στο κατσαρόλι.

quench with Grand Marnier
I have no idea if this is correct, but "quench" is a lovely word and deserves to be used more. (It does have the right literal meaning, too.)

braise in Grand Marnier
Braise – To cook in a small amount of liquid (also called stewing or pot roasting). In contract to poaching, in which the food is completely submerged in simmering liquid, braised dishes use a relatively small amount of liquid. Usually, the purpose of braising is to concentrate the food’s flavors in the surrounding liquid so that it can be made into a sauce, or allowed to reduce so that it coats or is reabsorbed by the foods being braised.
Please note: I agree that quench is a good literal translation for σβήνω, but I am not aware of that term being used in cooking terminology in English and it is not listed in the cooking glossaries that I found.

: "Braising" σημαίνει απλώς "σιγοβράζω". Όταν λέμε "σβήνω", εννοούμε ότι ρίχνω υγρό για να διακοπεί απότομα ο βρασμός του φαγητού.

douse with Grand Marnier
Perhaps the two meanings of 'douse' (drench and extinguish) could correspond quite nicely to the use of 'σβηνω'.
