A one-dimensional character is a character of a representation arising from a one-dimensional representation, equivalently a homomorphism from a group to the multiplicative group of its scalar field.
Every one-dimensional character kills the commutator subgroup and therefore factors through the abelianization. Conversely, every character of the abelianization pulls back to a one-dimensional character of the group.
