责任感 (zérèngǎn, "sense of responsibility") is built from 责任 (zérèn, "duty and responsibility") and 感 (gǎn, "feeling"), so the word presents duty as an inner sense.
Usage tips
- In family, school, and work talk, the word describes a person's character, whereas formal legal statements normally name the duty or liability directly.
