'was left' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'endlessly dithering about accepting drug' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' indicates the central letters (the ends of the words are removed).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'accepting drug' becomes 'ed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The middle letters of 'dithering' are 'itherin'.
'itherin' anagrammed gives 'inherit'.
'inherit'+'ed'='INHERITED'

Can you help me to learn more?
