Being a cousin means that you and your cousin are descended from a common ancestor. For example, first cousins have a grandparent or two in common, second cousins have a great grandparent or two in common.
Being "removed" when discussing cousin relationships means that the two of you, while descended from a common ancestor, are a different number of generations from that ancestor.
For example, let's say that two cousins, Joe and Mary, are descended from the same grandfather named Jason. They are first cousins to each other because each is two generations from their common ancestor, Jason. If Mary has a daughter named Vicky, Vicky is three generations from Jason. Since Joe is two generations from Jason, the cousin relationship between Joe and Vicky is "once removed" because they are not the same generation, but are separated by one generation when counting descent from Jason. Joe and Vicky are first cousins, once removed.
If Joe should have a daughter named Janet, Janet and Mary are also first cousins once removed, but Janet and Vicky are second cousins to each other because their shared ancestor, Jason is great grandfather to both of them.
