Etymology
From OF. cosin (French: cousin), from L. consibrinus (com- + sobrinus)

Noun
wikipedia
en-noun

1. The son or daughter of a person�s uncle or aunt
2. Any relation who is not a direct ancestor or descendant; one more distantly related than an aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, etc.

Usage notes
Relations who have a common grandparent but different parents are first cousins; those with a common great-grandparent but different parents are second cousins, and so on; in general, one�s nth cousin is anyone other than oneself or one's siblings found by going back n+1 generations and then forward n+1 generations.
The child of one�s first cousin is one�s first cousin once removed; the grandchild of one�s first cousin is one�s first cousin twice removed, and so on. For example, if Phil and Marie are first cousins, and Marie has a son Andre, then Phil and Andre are first cousin once removed|first cousins once removed.
Down South (south of what?), the relation is considered the number of links between two people of common ancestry to the common aunt or uncle.
