Because authority comes in the form of titles, ranks, and positions, authority can be delegated to one who is appointed. Responsibility, however, is a personal choice: One can choose to be responsible or not. It is an individual quality rather than a concrete "name." If one is assigned an authoritative post, that choice is essentially eliminated.
Hence, a supervisor can bestow titles and authority, but it remains up to the named person to live up to the responsibility inferred by positions of trust. Both words can be used as nouns, but they each have related but different implications. One can be responsible without being an authority, just as one can be an authority without being responsible.
