Resist responsibility often passed (4)

I believe the answer is:

buck

I believe this is a double definition.

'resist' is the first definition.
(as in bucking a trend)

'responsibility often passed' is the second definition.
(as in 'passing the buck')

(Other definitions for buck that I've seen before include "Male antelope" , "Animal - dollar - responsibility" , "impetuous youth" , "Male deer; (pass the) responsibility" , "something passed to dealer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
