chase

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

'go after' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'work as an engraver?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'as' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'che' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chase that I've seen before include "Pursuit" , "trail" , "grave, as before?" , "Engrave - hunt - pursue" , "Hurry" .)
