'get' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'female to make deep impression' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'female' could be 'f' (abbreviation) and 'f' is found in the answer.
'impression' could be 'etch' (I've seen this before) and 'etch' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
