Meaning & usage

adj/koˈvarda/
  1. cowardly and ignoble; dastardly; pusillanimous

    literary · rare
    1999, William Auld, interviewed by Aleksander Korĵenkov in La Ondo de Esperanto: Cetere, pseŭdonimeco en certaj cirkonstancoj estas tolerebla (ekzemple ĉe Zamenhof) — sed kiam aŭtoro kaŝas sin pseŭdonime por sin savi de pravaj riproĉoj kaj eventualaj reagoj, tio estas anonimeco kovarda kaj poltrona. Additionally, pseudonymity in certain circumstances is tolerable (for example in Zamenhof's case) — but when an author hides behind a pseudonym to save themselves from just reproaches and potential reactions, that sort of anonymity is pusillanimous and cowardly.
