'struggling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drizzling being on road' is the wordplay.
'drizzling being' becomes 'raining' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'road' becomes 'st'.
'raining' put after 'st' is 'STRAINING'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for straining that I've seen before include "Exerting much effort or energy" , "Making a great effort" , "demanding" .)
