Culpability (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

guilt

blame

'culpability' is the definition.
(someone culpable for something is guilty of it)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for guilt that I've seen before include "Feeling of culpability" , "The fact of having done wrong" , "(Feeling induced by) wrongdoing" , "(Shame for) criminality" , "State of having committed offence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Mirror and the Newsday.
