A "stair" refers to the individual step. A "stairway" and "staircase" mean the same thing and refer to a set of stairs between one floor and another. This usually refers to an open or semi-open set of stairs such as in a house. A "stairwell" usually refers to a set of stairs that are surrounded by walls, such as an emergency exit in an office building, hotel, or school.
