Officially designates (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anoints

'officially designates' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for anoints that I've seen is " Puts oil on in religious ceremony".)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and the Newsday.
