appoint
Name to position
Appoint means to designate someone for a position or duty: The president appointed her to the Supreme Court.
It implies authority—you appoint someone to a role rather than simply asking them to fill it.
Appoint also means to fix or determine: at the appointed hour.
An appointed room is one furnished or equipped for its purpose.
