etching
Grooved plate art
Etching is a printmaking technique where an image is incised into a metal plate using acid, then inked and pressed onto paper.
The resulting print is also called an etching.
The verb etch means to create such marks, or more broadly, to engrave or impress deeply: The scene was etched in her memory.
His face was etched with worry.
