Inscribe by cutting (7)
I believe the answer is:
engrave
'inscribe by cutting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for engrave that I've seen before include "Incise" , "Cut or carve (a text)" , "Rang Eve (anag.)" , "Carve into metal" , "impress deeply" .)
