pusillanimity
This term describes a specific type of cowardice characterized by a shrinking spirit or a lack of resolve. It carries a heavy pejorative weight, suggesting not just a momentary fear, but a deep-seated character flaw or a chronic inability to face adversity. It is most frequently encountered in formal, literary, or philosophical discourses regarding ethics and virtue.
Because it is an abstract quality, the word is uncountable. It cannot be pluralized or counted as individual units; instead, it is measured in degrees of intensity. To quantify this trait, one must use partitive constructions such as a streak of pusillanimity or an instance of pusillanimity.
