Note
Only one verb sits behind this form, the phrasal pussy out, so the word arrives with out after it: the investors pussied out, he pussied out of the race. It grows from the noun's vulgar, derogatory use for a coward and carries that insult with it, so careful speech says backed out or lost their nerve instead. The y changes to i before -ed, as in carried.
