inscribed
Etched into surface
Inscribed means written or carved into a surface, typically with care or permanence: a ring inscribed with their initials, names inscribed on the monument.
In geometry, an inscribed figure is drawn inside another so that their boundaries touch at specific points: a triangle inscribed in a circle.
The verb inscribe covers the act of writing, engraving, or dedicating: She inscribed the book to her mentor.
