Embarrassing failure (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fiasco

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fiasco that I've seen before include "Debacle, a right mess" , "bomb" , "Farcical disaster" , "A hopeless mess or ludicrous failure" , "Ignominious failure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
