The responsibility to do something (4)

I believe the answer is:

onus

(Other definitions for onus that I've seen before include "'Responsibility, task or burden (4)'" , "albatross?" , "Capulet opponent (R&J)" , "Weight of responsibility" , "Duty or responsibility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
