Cousin once removed means that the cousin relationship is removed by one generation. Example: Your dad's first cousin would be your first cousin once removed because you are from one generation later than your dad. Your first cousin once removed would be your childs's first cousin twice removed because your child is two generations later than your dad, etc.

Your mother's first cousin is always your first cousin, once removed. That is at the core of what first cousins and removed cousins are. That relationship will never change; your mother's first cousin will always be your first cousin, once removed. The term "cousin by marriage" is relatively new and undefined, and for many it really does not mean anything. Some people use the term to refer to someone who has married a cousin. In that sense, if someone marries your "first cousin once removed," that person would be your "first cousin once removed by marriage." It is completely incorrect to claim that someone who marries your first cousin is your "first cousin once removed" simply because of that marriage.
