Crossword Genius

Enabler was made responsible (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

answerable

'responsible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'enabler was made' is the wordplay.
'made' is an anagram indicator.
'enabler'+'was'='enablerwas'
'enablerwas' with letters rearranged gives 'ANSWERABLE'.

(Other definitions for answerable that I've seen before include "Responsible" , "Taking reponsibility" , "Having to report (to)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
