'get lead' is the definition.
'fetch' can be an answer for 'get' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'lead' bit.

'fork to engrave' is the wordplay.
'fork' becomes 'f' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'to engrave' becomes 'etch' (I've seen this before).
'f'+'etch'='FETCH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fetch that I've seen before include "Sell for" , "Go and get back, like dog with stick" , "Go and bring back" , "Collect" , "Command to a gun dog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
