Noun
cousin (plural cousins)
- son or daughter of someone's uncle or aunt
- Relative who is not a direct ancestor or descendant, more distantly related than an aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, etc. Relatives who have a common grandparent are called first cousins, those who have a common great-grandparent are called second cousins, a great-great-grandparent third cousins, and so forth.
