The Chinese word **责任感 (zérèngǎn)**, meaning "sense of responsibility," is a modern compound noun formed through logical semantic combination. It is constructed from three morphemes: **责 (zé)**, meaning "duty" or "to blame"; **任 (rèn)**, meaning "to shoulder" or "task"; which together form the word **责任 (zérèn)**, meaning "responsibility." This compound then combines with the suffix **感 (gǎn)**, meaning "feeling" or "sense," to create an abstract noun that describes the internalized awareness and feeling of being accountable. Thus, the formation follows a common Chinese word-building pattern where a concrete noun (**责任**) is modified by a suffix (**感**) to express an abstract psychological or emotional state.
