I'm not quite understanding this point.  From www.m-w.com:

Etymology: French n potisme, from Italian nepotismo, from nepote nephew,
from Latin nepot-, nepos grandson, nephew -- more at NEPHEW
Date: 1670
: favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship

I don't imagine we are talking about cousins taking jobs we'd like to
have here.  It's rather quite the opposite.
