What Is a Cousin?
Cousins are people who share a common ancestor that is at least 2 generations away, such as a grandparent or great-grandparent. You and your siblings are not cousins because your parents are only 1 generation away from you.
What Is a Second Cousin?
The number associated with your cousin has to do with how many generations away your common ancestor is.
For example:
First cousins share a grandparent (2 generations)
Second cousins share a great-grandparent (3 generations)
Third cousins share a great-great-grandparent (4 generations)
Fourth cousins share a 3rd-great grandparent (5 generations)
To be “once removed” from a cousin means you are separated by one generation. The number before “removed” will always represent the number of generations you are separated (“removed”) from the cousin. (Source: Family Search).

The English word "clan" is derived from old Irish clann meaning "children", "offspring", "progeny" or
"descendants"; it is not from the word for "family" or "clan" in either Irish or Scottish Gaelic.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "clan" was introduced into English in around 1425,
as a descriptive label for the organization of society in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
None of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic terms for kinship groups is cognate to English clan;
Scottish Gaelic clann means "descendants". (Source: Wikipedia).
