Complete and utter failure (6)

I believe the answer is:

fiasco

'complete and utter failure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fiasco that I've seen before include "Utter failure, debacle" , "Embarrassing failure" , "Ignominious failure" , "A ludicrous or humiliating failure, complete mess" , "Complete and utter failure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
