Fiascos

/fiˈæs.koʊz/ noun

Definition

The more common English plural of fiasco; multiple complete failures or humiliating public disasters.

Etymology

From Italian 'fiasco' with the standard English plural ending '-s,' showing how English has adopted and anglicized the Italian word.

Kelly Says

Fiasco is one of those words that traveled from Italian theater and commerce into English, and fiascos became our default way to pluralize it because English just loves adding -s to everything—even words from other languages.
