A fourth cousin is someone in a family who shares the same great-great-great-grandparents. First cousins share the same grandparents and second cousins have the same great-grandparents. Ordinal numbers of cousins are in the same generation as each other. For instance, all of the children of siblings are first cousins.
Generally a cousin who is not a first cousin is usually referred to as a distant cousin. However, I know people who refer to all of their cousins, first, first once removed, 2nd, 3rd etc as just cousins. So when a person ask a question about a cousin I wish they would distinguish the specific relationship.
