Crossword Genius

Inclined to be responsible (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liable

I believe this is a double definition.

'inclined' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for liable that I've seen before include "Subject to an obligation" , "Apt to" , "To blame" , "legally obliged, held responsible" , "Responsible at law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
