Plural form of fiasco or variant Italian plural; a complete failure or ridiculous breakdown of plans, derived from Italian origins.
From Italian 'fiasco' meaning bottle or failure; the Italian plural 'fiaschi' directly means bottles but was adopted into English to refer to complete disasters.
The word fiasco literally comes from Italian for 'bottle'—historians think it's connected to glass-blowing failures in Venice, where a ruined bottle was a total waste. So when your plans completely fall apart, you're basically a broken bottle.
