Cowardice refers to a lack of bravery or the inability to face danger, difficulty, opposition, or pain. It is often considered a negative trait, as it involves succumbing to fear and choosing inaction or avoidance over courageous actions and confronting challenges. A person displaying cowardice might be reluctant to take risks, stand up for themselves or others, or deal with difficult situations, opting instead for a safer, but less honorable, path.
