etchv.²

Brit.

/ɛtʃ/, U.S.

/ɛtʃ/

Etymology: < Dutch etsen, < German ätzen to etch < Middle High German etzen , atzen < Old High German ezjan , azjan to cause to eat or to be eaten = Gothic *atjan (in fra-atjan to distribute for food) < Old Germanic *atjan , causative of *etan to eat v.

a. transitive. To engrave (metals, sometimes glass, stone) by ‘eating away’ the surface with acids or other corrosives; chiefly, to engrave by this process (a copper or other metal plate) for the purpose of printing from it. Hence, to produce (figures), copy or reproduce (pictures, drawings, etc.), represent or portray (subjects) by this method.In etching plates to be printed from, the metal is covered with a protective varnish called the ground, and the lines of the design are drawn through this substance with an ‘etching-needle’; the acid is then poured over the ground, and acts on the plate only where its surface has been exposed by the needle. The verb is also used of the production of designs on polished metal, esp. steel, by means of acids, the designs ‘etched’ appearing dead or clouded; also of the similar ornamentation of glass, the agent in this case being fluorine.
