The word 'monitor' is thrown about quite promiscuously nowadays, so it doesn't necessarily mean a thing, but it might mean:
1. A speaker designed to project the sound straight from itself to a listener a short distance away, probably right in front of it. Not designed to interact with room acoustics in any particularly good way.
2. A speaker designed to be dead-on neutral accurate.
3. A speaker designed to let you hear everything that is on the recording. Not particularly designed to make it sound good, but to put everything where it can be heard.
4. A speaker designed to sound like whatever the record buyer is likely to use to play the record. Some of these are godawful, used to check that the listener using a little boombox will be able to make out enough of the words even when the guitarists and tambourinists are doing their worst.
The good ones combine the better aspects of 1, 2, and 3.
