Full responsibility is upon you and me (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'full responsibility' is the definition.
'onus' can be an answer for 'responsibility' (onus is a duty or responsibility). I am not certain of the 'full' bit.

'upon you and me' is the wordplay.
'upon' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'you and me' becomes 'us'.
'on'+'us'='ONUS'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for onus that I've seen before include "'Burden, of proof (4)'" , "Weight of responsibility" , "Encumbrance" , "Responsibilty" , "Liability" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
