Craven as an adjective means lacking even the rudiments of courage; abjectly fearful.
Craven can also be a noun and like its alternative, cravenness, means an abject coward; ignoble coward; or poltroon.

About Me
- Scriptor Senex
- I'm a blogger - nowadays that seems to be my main occupation and Rambles from My Chair is my main blog. I’m a retired local government executive - now studying how to survive a neurological disorder that gives me various problems but, hopefully, a whole new outlook on life and an increased sense of humour and perspective. I enjoy all manner of communication apart from the telephone and am constantly e-mailing, texting, writing postcards and letters and commenting on other people's blogs. Scriptor Senex is Latin for Old Writer and my real name is John but I've almost forgotten that nowadays... “He’s not so old. He’s just the age that he is, that’s all.” (Gerald Hammond)
