'for score' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'english roar' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).

'eng'+'rave'='ENGRAVE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for engrave that I've seen before include "Cut design in, eg, metal" , "Cut or carve (a text)" , "Inscribe by cutting" , "Cut or carve (a design)" , "Mistakes" .)
