'fancy italian offloading a drug' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fancy italian offloading a drug' is the wordplay.
'fancy' becomes 'dig'.
'offloading' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'drug' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'drugged' mean this).
'italian' with 'a' taken away is 'itlian'.
'itlian' anagrammed gives 'italin'.
'dig'+'italin'='DIGITALIN'
