(Christianity) Bound by religious rule; belonging to a monastic or religious order (often as opposed to secular).

regular clergy, in distinction from the secular clergy
Origin: From , from , , regulier, and their source, , from rēgula, ultimately from. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

Regular means: Bound by religious rule; belonging to a monastic or religious order (often as opposed to secular).. 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

regular means: Bound by religious rule; belonging to a monastic or religious order (often as opposed to secular).. Register: neutral, standard English. 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.
