I suspect it's an archaic       usage. The Cambridge dictionary doesn't define it as an adjective (listing       only "cowardly"), same for Merriam-Webster, Collins, and the Britannica       Dictionary. The Oxford dictionary shows it used an adjective but last used in       1818!                     Cheers...
