Allotted or delegated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assigned

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'allotted' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'delegated' is the second definition.
('assign' can be a synonym of 'delegate')

(Other definitions for assigned that I've seen before include "Told" , "selected" , "Appointed to a duty or task" , "Allotted or appointed to a post" , "Allocated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
