Provided by the compucert onus \OH-nuhs\, noun:
- A burden; an obligation; a disagreeable necessity.
- a: A stigma. b: Blame.
- The burden of proof.
Onus is adopted from Latin onus, "load, burden." The derivative Latin adjective onerosus yields English onerous, "burdensome, oppressive." The derivative Latin verb onerare has the compound form exonerare, "to free from (ex-) an onus or burden," which yields English exonerate, "to relieve, in a moral sense, as of a charge, obligation, or load of blame resting on one."
