New Avenger giving chase (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

engrave

'chase' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new avenger' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'avenger' with letters rearranged gives 'ENGRAVE'.

'giving' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for engrave that I've seen before include "Etch" , "impress deeply" , "Mistakes" , "Incise" , "Carve into surface as of medal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
