Craven

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.

    Pusillanimous nonentity

    I learned that from one of my teachers long, long ago.
