Spinning mister in stables kicking bucket (7)
I believe the answer is:
eddying
'spinning mister' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in stables kicking bucket' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eddying that I've seen before include "Swirling around" , "in vortex" , "Swirling round" .)
