a child of a person's aunt or uncle, or, more generally, a distant (= not close) relation
My brother's wife and I both had babies around the same time, so the cousins are very close in age.
Many of our distant cousins, whom we hadn't seen for years, came to my sister's wedding.
During the family reunion, cousins from different parts of the country gathered to reconnect and share stories.
My cousin and I spent our childhood summers exploring the countryside together.
Family traditions were passed down from generation to generation, creating a strong bond among cousins.
The wedding celebration brought cousins together, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.
