COUSIN (Fr. cousin, Ital. cugino, Late Lat. cosinus, perhaps a popular and familiar abbreviation of consobrinus, which has the same sense in classical Latin)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 335 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COUSIN (Fr. cousin, Ital. cugino, Late Lat. cosinus, perhaps a popular and familiar abbreviation of consobrinus, which has the same sense in classical Latin) , a
term
  of relationship. Children of
brothers
  and sisters are to each other first cousins, or cousinsgerman; the children of first cousins are to each other second cousins, and so on; the child of a first
cousin
  is to the first
cousin
  of his father or
mother
  a first cousin once removed.
The word cousin has also, since the 16th
century
 , been used by sovereigns as an honorific style in addressing persons of exalted, but not equal sovereign, rank, the
term
  " brother " being reserved as the style used by one sovereign in addressing another. Thus, in
Great
  Britain, dukes, marquesses and earls are addressed by the sovereign in royal writs, &c., as " cousin." In France the kings thus addressed princes of the blood royal, cardinals and archbishops, dukes and peers, the marshals of France, the grand
officers
  of the crown and certain foreign princes. In Spain the right to be thus addressed is a privilege of the grandees.
