fusilamine is incorrectly written, and should be written as "coward" being its meaning:
Obviously we have a word misspelled or incorrectly transcribed because she heard incorrectly. Therefore is not " fusilanime " fate of coward, which comes from the latin pusillanimis. It means person lacking of value to make decisions, lack of spirit, of energy. There is also pusilanimo, but the latter is an unusual voice.
