Nguồn gốc từ

From French débâcle, from débâcler (to unbar; unleash) from prefix dé- (un-) + bâcler (to dash, bind, bar, block) [perhaps from unattested Middle French - and Old French - *bâcler, *bacler (to hold in place, prop a door or window open)], from *bacculare, from Latin baculum (rod, staff used for support), from Proto-Indo-European *bak-.
