Usage Note
Designado is the past participle of designar used as an adjective, often in formal or official contexts — el representante designado ('the designated representative'). It implies a specific, deliberate appointment rather than a casual one. Do not confuse with asignado ('assigned'), which is more general.
Examples
"El representante designado tomó la palabra."
Natural Translation
The designated representative took the floor.
