cousin

The child of one's uncle or aunt. Children of brothers or sisters are full, or first, cousins. If A and B are first cousins, A's child is a first cousin once removed to B, and children of A and B are second cousins to each other.

In many non-Western societies, cousins play a significant role in the way the society is organized, especially parallel cousins, the children of siblings of the same sex, and cross-cousins, the children of siblings of opposite sex.
