Total not so, not finished with charges for ritual washing (9)
I believe the answer is:
ablutions
'total not so not finished' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'charges for ritual washing' is the wordplay.
'charges' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'ritual washing' becomes 'ablution' (I've seen this before).
's' put after 'ablution' is 'ABLUTIONS'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ablutions that I've seen before include "wash and brush-up" , "The act of washing" .)
