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. 🙂

 

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

(12 letters)

Reckon convolutions might be right-just a guess.

Yes the_great_she_elephant, correct.

 

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

(12 letters)

The prisoner – Con

At the cave – den

Would not stand – sat

For the electrically charged – ion

Con-den-sat-ion = droplets of water.

OK. My turn:
