字源 debacle (n.)
"disaster," 1848, from French débâcle "downfall, collapse, disaster" (17c.), a figurative use, literally "breaking up (of ice on a river)," extended to the violent flood that follows when the river ice melts in spring; from débâcler "to free," from Middle French desbacler "to unbar," from des- "off" + bacler "to bar," from Vulgar Latin *bacculare, from Latin baculum "stick" (see bacillus). Sense of "disaster" was present in French before English borrowed the word.

【参】debar(v 阻止; 排除; 剥夺) = bar = forbid = exclude
【反】complete success(完全成功)
趣味全助记 【记】de + bacterial 细菌病毒(大爆发)会导致崩溃与灾难
