From responsible + -ity. Although the components are of French origin, the compound appears to have been formed in English. Later-attested French responsabilité is modeled on the English word, and Italian responsabilità is in turn modeled on the French.

Used in a sentence

  • Responsibility is a heavy burden.
  • Why didn't you clean the house? That was your responsibility!
  • The responsibility of the great states is to serve and not to dominate the world
