Held against your will.
There's the legal def:
45-5-301. Unlawful restraint. (1) A person commits the offense of unlawful restraint if he knowingly or purposely and without lawful authority restrains another so as to interfere substantially with his liberty.
(2) A person convicted of the offense of unlawful restraint shall be fined not to exceed $500 or imprisoned in the county jail for any term not to exceed 6 months, or both.

In ohio it is the talking away of a persons ability to do something he or she would be able to to legally. You do NOT have to physically stop them. So lets say your sitting in your classroom after school and you want to leave and a teacher is standing in the doorway and you ask him to move and he does not. That is unlawful restraint. Now if he had said "sit down or I am kicking your a**", that would be abduction.
"(A) No person, without privilege to do so, shall knowingly restrain another of his liberty.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of unlawful restraint, a misdemeanor of the third degree."

In Missouri, Unlawful restraint is like kidnapping, except you don't have to take the victim anywhere.
If you lock someone up in their (or your) house by force, it would be illegal in Missouri:
Felonious Restraint:
565.120. 1. A person commits the crime of felonious restraint if he knowingly restrains another unlawfully and without consent so as to interfere substantially with his liberty and exposes him to a substantial risk of serious physical injury.
2. Felonious restraint is a class C felony.

It means "illegal"; doing it breaks the law. The distinction is necessary because certain acts can be illegal sometimes but not at others. For example, in some places you are allowed to have medical marijuana. In that case, not *all* possession of marijuana is unlawful. However, a burglary is unlawful by definition; "burglary" is the name of the crime. If it's not illegal, it's not burglary. Hence "unlawful burglary" is redundant, just like "unlawful murder". (But "unlawful homicide" is not redundant, because killing another soldier in war is homicide but legal.)

Texas term, meaning less than kidnapping.

It would mean "illegal", but then you get a tautology, since burglary by itself is illegal and by that it's unnecessary to call it illegal.
