(law, often, _, capitalized, _, and, _, italicized, _, in legislations) An official periodical publication published by a government containing legal and state notices, and in some cases, legislations, subsidiary legislations and bills.

For parents

Gazette means: An official periodical publication published by a government containing legal and state notices, and in some cases, legislations, subsidiary legislations and bills.. It is legal vocabulary; usage is usually formal, institutional, or news-related rather than casual teen talk. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

gazette means: An official periodical publication published by a government containing legal and state notices, and in some cases, legislations, subsidiary legislations and bills.. Register: formal, legal English. Standard in its technical domain but rare in everyday talk; gloss with a plain synonym when writing for a general audience. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Cluster: general
