Etching, inscribing (9)
I believe the answer is:
engraving
This clue is a double definition.
'etching' is the first definition.
(I know that etching can be written as engraving)
'inscribing' is the second definition.
('engrave' can be a synonym of 'inscribe')
(Other definitions for engraving that I've seen before include "artwork" , "the funeral ceremony?" , "Cutting" , "Carving on hard surface" , "Print" .)
