Definition
拓 has two pronunciations: tuò (common, meaning 'to open up, expand') and tà (less common, meaning 'to make a rubbing'). This entry is for the tà reading, which appears as a bound form in words like 拓印 (tà yìn, 'to make a rubbing') and 拓本 (tà běn, 'rubbing copy'). The gloss provided in the source is for the tuò reading and does not apply here.
b.f.
(bound form) to make a rubbing (of an inscription or pattern)
