narcissus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disturbance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'self-obsessed youth russians caught' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'russians' is 'narissus' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'after' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
