Initially scratched, attractive print (7)

I believe the answer is:

etching

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'print' is the definition.
(I know that etching is a type of engraving)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for etching that I've seen before include "Drawing on metal with acid" , "Engraving with acid" , "Engraved artwork" , "Print produced from engraving" , "work of art" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
