Also means
role, mission
Usage Note
Cometido functions as a noun meaning a duty or assigned task, not merely as a past participle of cometer. The phrase cumplir con su cometido ('to carry out one's assignment') is the most natural collocation. It sits in formal and journalistic registers; in everyday speech tarea or misión are more common.
Examples
"El agente cumplió su cometido sin problemas."
Natural Translation
The agent carried out his assignment without problems.
