Only half engage with wild talk while making print (9)
I believe the answer is:
engraving
'print' is the definition.
(engraving is a kind of print)
'only half engage with wild' is the wordplay.
'only half' indicates taking half.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wild' becomes 'raving' (synonyms).
'engage' cut in half is 'eng'.
'eng'+'raving'='ENGRAVING'
'talk while making' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engraving that I've seen before include "the funeral ceremony?" , "art" , "Print" , "Carving on hard surface" , "artwork" .)
