It is motion that is confined a single direction. That being said you can also expand it to include motion along a single line such as when a bead moves along a curved wire.

A motion along straight line is called rectilinear motion. In general, it need not be one - dimensional; it can take place in a two dimensional plane or in three dimensional space. But, it is always possible that rectilinear motion be treated as one dimensional motion, by suitably orienting axes of the coordinate system.
One-dimensional motion is motion in a straight line.
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.

Two-dimensional motion
Projective motion is any motion defined in two dimensions. For example, if we mathematically project the three-dimensional path of a flying airplane onto a flat plane, the result is projective motion. The three-dimensional path was projected (thus the term) onto the flat plane..
