appointed
Given a position
Appointed describes something that has been designated, assigned, or scheduled: the appointed time, the appointed place.
It also describes someone who has been selected for a position rather than elected: an appointed official, court-appointed attorney.
Well-appointed means elegantly furnished or equipped: a well-appointed hotel room.
