English Explanation

The correct reading is せきにん, combining the on'yomi of 責 (セキ) and 任 (ニン). 責 means blame or responsibility, and 任 means duty or entrust. Wrong readings such as ぜきにん or せきに mispronounce the first kanji or omit the final 'n'. It denotes accountability for one's actions or duties, unlike freedom or choice.

日本語解説

正しい読みは「せきにん」で、責(セキ)と任(ニン)の音読みです。責は責める・責任、任は任務・任せるを意味します。「ぜきにん」や「せきに」は読み間違いや撥音の欠落です。自分の行動や職務に対する説明責任や義務を指し、自由や選択とは異なります。
