Gave a task to (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assigned

'gave a task to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for assigned that I've seen before include "Alloted, ascribed" , "transferred" , "Allotted or delegated" , "selected" , "Allotted or appointed to a post" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com and the Irish Times (Simplex).
