The literal use of pantywaist is an item of children's clothing dating from the 1920s; an undergarment consisting of short pants (like boxers) and a tee-shirt that buttoned together at the waist.
In the 1930's the term was first used to describe 'an effeminate' or 'weak man or boy'; AKA a 'sissy'. I have also heard the term used to describe someone as being useless.
