Burden, responsibility (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onus

I believe this is a double definition.

'burden' is the first definition.
(I know that burden can be written as onus)

'responsibility' is the second definition.
(onus is a duty or responsibility)

(Other definitions for onus that I've seen before include "Duty or responsibility" , "Responsibilty" , "albatross?" , "Encumbrance" , "Capulet opponent (R&J)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sun and The Guardian.
