English translation:cousins(younger, except patrilineal uncle's children)
Explanation:
As you already know, in Korea they classify cousins as 4 kinds.

친사촌 - Fathers' brother's children
외사촌 - Mother's brother's children
고종사촌 - Father's sister's children
이종사촌 - Mother's sister's children

Last three are, as whole, called 종사촌.

종동생 means younger 종사촌.

Literally, "종(姨)" means "not direct decent relatives"

I hope it may help you understand.
