Recreant is an adjective that means cowardly or unfaithful to duty. The word can also be used as a noun that refers to a coward.

The Latin word ‘recredere’ means ‘to surrender.’ A recreant is someone eager to surrender.

In difficult times, being a recreant is not what the world needs. A truly courageous person accepts the challenge of trying times.
