Design using cutting included in sketchbook (4)
I believe the answer is:
etch
'design using cutting included' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in sketchbook' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ETCH' is hidden in the letters of 'sketchbook'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for etch that I've seen before include "Carve or engrave into surface" , "Engrave deeply" , "Engrave metal plate using acid" , "Engrave (glass/metal)" , "Wear away by chemical reaction" .)
