Hey there! :)
Wuss is usually an unflattering and insulting term, which means someone who is weak and lacks the abilities or qualities required for something.
Person A may call Person B a wuss if Person B is unable to do something that Person A thinks requires courage, strength or some skill or talent.
You could loosely translate a wuss as a combination of a weakling and a coward.
Wussy, the adjective form of the word, is also used to describe things that are generally ineffective or unuseful.
Here's something that came from my dictionary.
wussy, adjective, -sier, -siest.
(U.S. Slang.) of a weak and unassertive sort; timid and ineffectual.
Ex. ... a wussy editorial decrying boxing (James Wolcott). Field of Dreams is the male weepie at its wussiest (Time).
I hope this helped!

short version of the word wussie. Cross between the words wimp and pussie.

basically it means coward, though it's not quite as derogatory as coward.
