Utter failure (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debacle

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for debacle that I've seen before include "Utter failure" , "foul-up" , "Disatrous collapse" , "Sudden disastrous collapse or defeat" , "A complete collapse or messy failure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
