Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

WORDPLAY

disordered [indicator:anagram] mind -> ndmi

admits [indicator:containment]
      purpose [charade] = will

            Soโ€ฆ will is to surround ndmi -> WIndmiLL

DESCRIPTION

is driven by the current = windmill

 

It is all yours with which to play like a cat with several curious cryptic-clue-loving mice.
