Ordered to imprison lousy red for not rising (9)
I believe the answer is:
bedridden
'for not rising' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'ordered to imprison lousy red' is the wordplay.
'ordered' becomes 'bidden' (I've seen this before).
'to imprison' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lousy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red' is an anagram of 'edr'.
'bidden' enclosing 'edr' is 'BEDRIDDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedridden that I've seen before include "permanently retired" , "Unwell" , "laid up" .)
