英语词汇fiasco的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

fiasco. Our word for “a total, foolish failure” derives from the Italian fiasco, “bottle,” but no one seems to know why. First re- corded in England as a theatrical term in the late 19th century, the word may have something to do with a bottle breaking—ei- ther accidentally or as part of the plot—in some forgotten Ital- ian play. Perhaps also a brand of wine in some bottles was flat or sour—a complete failure or fiasco—or imperfect bottles made by glassblowers were called fiascos. There is no proof for any theory.
