Make an impression and so on with husband (4)
I believe the answer is:
etch
'make an impression' is the definition.
(to etch is to make an impression in something)
'and so on with husband' is the wordplay.
'and so on' becomes 'etc' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'etc'+'h'='ETCH'
(Other definitions for etch that I've seen before include "Use acid to design on metal or glass" , "Carve (design) on a surface" , "Engrave metal plate using acid" , "Make designs" , "Score with acid" .)
