Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to cousins, specifically the children of one's aunt or uncle. It is a compound word formed from the preposition ἐκ (ek), meaning 'from' or 'out of', and ἀδελφός (adelphos), meaning 'brother'. Thus, it literally means 'from a brother' (or sibling), indicating a relationship one step removed from a direct sibling. It is used to describe relatives who are not immediate family but share a common grandparent.
