Engrave with a laser (4)

I believe the answer is:

etch

(Other definitions for etch that I've seen before include "Engrave metal plate using acid" , "Draw on metal with acid" , "Carve into surface of something" , "Make picture by engraving metal" , "Cut (design) on surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
