/Sounds like the English word "accountability" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

Taking ownership of your actions without shifting blame onto others. Borrowed directly from English and used in wellness, workplace, and social media talk across Latin America and Spain. When someone lacks accountability, they always find a way to make everything someone else's fault.

Examples

He needs more accountability, he always blames others when things go wrong.

Practicing accountability is hard but it is the only way to actually grow.

Regional synonyms

To be completely fed up with someone or something. Used in Mexico when you have zero patience left and you are done dealing with the situation. It is stronger than just being annoyed.
