- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

RESPONSIBILITY, n. A detachable burden easily shifted to the
shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days
of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.

Alas, things ain't what we should see
If Eve had let that apple be;
And many a feller which had ought
To set with monarchses of thought,
Or play some rosy little game
With battle-chaps on fields of fame,
Is downed by his unlucky star
And hollers: "Peanuts! -- here you are!"

"The Sturdy Beggar"

- 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue

The fact of being responsible
Responsibility is a heavy burden
A duty or obligation for which someone is responsible
Keeping this system under control is everyone's responsibility
