Another way I like to think of it is it’s your parent’s cousin’s kid. So you can see why from their perspective it would feel more closely related, it would be like you having a kid and your cousin having a kid and then you seeing them together.
Yeah, genetically don’t make a habit of it, but you’re probably fine (unless your grandparents are identical twins or has hapsburgs or something), but also I’d be super uncomfortable if it was my kid
Second cousin means cousin second order (grandchild of a sibling of one of your grandparents), right?

Yes
Thanks!
A parent’s first cousin. Your first cousin’s child would be a first cousin once removed.
What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.
Second cousin’s parent is great aunt/uncle
No, your great aunt/uncle is your second cousin’s grandparent.
Second cousin is your parent’s cousin’s child.
Your parent’s cousin’s parent is your parent’s aunt/uncle, which is your great aunt/uncle.
You’re parent’s cousin is your first cousin once removed.
