Second cousins are people who share the same great-grandparents, but not the same grandparents or parents. For example, using yourself as the reference point, your aunt's child is your first cousin and your great aunt's grandchild is your second cousin.

Second cousins are the grandchildren of siblings.

The degree (first, second, third cousin, etc.) indicates one less than the minimum number of generations between either cousin and the nearest common ancestor; the remove (once removed, twice removed,etc.) indicates the number of generations, if any, separating the two cousins from each other (Wikipedia).
