About
The word 负责 is formed by combining two characters: 负, which originally depicted a person carrying something on their back, conveying the idea of bearing or carrying a burden; and 责, which represents a debt or obligation. Together, they create a conceptual blend where the act of physically carrying a burden (负) is metaphorically applied to the abstract concept of undertaking an obligation or duty (责), thus forming the meaning "to be responsible for", literally, to shoulder one's duties.
