A monster is considered destroyed when killed in battle with another monster. It is also destroyed when a card effect says so (Dark Hole, Trap Hole, Dark Armed Dragon, etc).
Lastly, if one of your monsters is temporarily removed from your side of the field (removed from play or control switched to the opponent) it will be destroyed if it tries to return to your side of the field, but all your slots are full.
A monster is not considered destroyed if it is discarded from hand, "sent from the field to the graveyard," tributed, or only removed from play (such as by Caius the Shadow Monarch's effect, but not by Bottomless Trap Hole's effect, since this Trap says "destroy and remove from play").
