white-livered
White-livered is an adjective referring to someone who is cowardly, timorous, or lacking courage and determination. It's a somewhat old-fashioned term, mostly used in literature and formal speech. The term's origins date back to the idea that the liver was the seat of courage, and a pale or white liver was believed to denote a lack of bravery.
