Set aside, earmarked (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserved

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'set aside' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'earmarked' is the second definition.
('reserve' can be a synonym of 'earmark')

(Other definitions for reserved that I've seen before include "unforthcoming" , "Spoken for" , "Taken" , "Booked - reticent" , "Shy; booked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
