(history of, _, United Kingdom) The events of 1660 when English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were restored under Charles II.

For parents

Restoration means: The events of 1660 when English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were restored under Charles II.. It is mainly Irish English and may not be understood outside that context. 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

Restoration means: The events of 1660 when English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were restored under Charles II.. Register: informal, Irish English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international 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.
