Definition:

It means you're don't have courage or determination to do something.

Others:

The sentence below is an example of when you might use it:

He's too pusillanimous to stand up to his opponents.

It means he doesn't have the courage to stand up for himself. He doesn't believe he can defeat his opponents.

Hope this helps! :)
