Adjective[edit]
once removed (not comparable)
- One generation apart.
- Phil and Andre are first cousins once removed.
Usage notes[edit]
If two cousins are from different generations to the common ancestor, the term removed indicates how many generations apart they are.
For example, if Phil and Marie are first cousins (have a common grandparent), and Marie has a son Andre, Phil and Andre are first cousins once removed.
