Drive mischief-maker to English lake (5)
I believe the answer is:
impel
'drive' is the definition.
(I know this)
'mischief-maker to english lake' is the wordplay.
'mischief maker' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'imp'+'e'+'l'='IMPEL'
(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Egg" , "Drive or coerce" , "Urge forward - push" , "Force into motion" , "'Drive, force (5)'" .)
