Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: ὀλιγόψυχος (Strong'S #3642 — Adjective — oligopsuchos — ol-ig-op'-soo-khos )

lit., "small-souled" (oligos, "small," psuche, "the soul"), denotes "despondent;" then, "fainthearted,"  1 Thessalonians 5:14 , Rv, for the incorrect Av, "feeble-minded." In the Sept., similarly, in a good sense,  Isaiah 57:15 , "who giveth endurance to the fainthearted," for Rv, "to revive the spirit of the humble;" in a bad sense,  Proverbs 18:14 , "who can endure a fainthearted man?"

King James Dictionary [2]

Fainthearted, a. Cowardly timorous dejected easily depressed, or yielding to fear.

Fear not, neither be fainthearted.  Isaiah 7 .

Webster's Dictionary [3]

(a.) Wanting in courage; depressed by fear; easily discouraged or frightened; cowardly; timorous; dejected.
