   Etymonline doesn't appear to agree but it still might be true.
   https://www.etymonline.com/word/wussy (this is the entry for "wussy", not "pussy", but there isn't an entry for that use of "pussy" and "wussy" probably comes from said use)

     @Hyolobrika @TechLibre considering pusillanimous is a real word that very closely matches what people tend to mean when calling someone a pussy I am inclined to believe

     @TechLibre @Hyolobrika yeah I think the presence of a longer form word in the history of the language that means exactly what most people mean when calling someone a pussy makes it seem probable that is the real origin though.

     @Hyolobrika @thatguyoverthere It's common for W and V words to evolve into P and B words over time, Spanish has done that, so...
