'less arduous' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'i see a struggle right' is the wordplay.
'struggle' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move around or struggle).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'i'+'see'+'a'='iseea'
'iseea' is an anagram of 'easie'.
'easie'+'r'='EASIER'

'to the end though' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
