Showing a lack of courage or determination; timid.

I think it comes from the latin meaning 'weak' smile

Pusillanimous means that "one is marked by contemptible timidity, lacking courage, cowardly, or characterized by a lack of courage or determination".

Basically, it would be saying that someone is a coward. Big fancy word, for such an unappealing definition, right? smile
