Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

earmark

'designate for a particular purpose' is the definition.

(Other definitions for earmark that I've seen before include "Reserve specially" , "Set aside, designate" , "'Reserve, set aside (7)'" , "Set aside for future use" , "reserve for future use" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Irish Times.
