I've never seen the word used as an adjective. 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!
