† quater-cousinn.

Forms: 1600s quater-cosen, 1600s quater-cosin, 1600s quater-cousen, 1600s quater-cozin, 1700s quater-cousin.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item; perhaps modelled on a Latin lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymon: cater-cousin n.

Etymology: Alteration of cater-cousin n., apparently by association with either classical Latin quater four times (see quatercentenary adj. and n.) or French quatre (see quatre n. and compare cater n.²): compare discussion at cater-cousin n., and comments in the quots. below. N.E.D. (1902) records quots. 1656 and 1681 under the headword form quarter-co(u)sen, -cozin, but no forms with quarter- have been traced.
