Removed from what?

  It means the child of a first cousin. I'm a native speaker of English and I find the phrase confusing also.

  > Removed means a different generation. When cousins are in different generations than each other, we say they're removed. "Removed" is like “grand” and “great,” but with cousins. https://support.ancestry.co.uk/s/article/Understanding-Kinship-Terms#:~:text=Removed%20means%20a%20different%20generation,two%20generations%2C%20and%20so%20forth. https://support.ancestry.co.uk/s/article/Understanding-Kinsh...
