activated
Set in motion
Activated describes something that has been made active or set in motion.
A device is activated when turned on or triggered: The alarm was activated by motion sensors.
In science, activated substances have been treated to increase reactivity: activated charcoal, activated carbon.
In casual use, activated often describes someone energized or ready for action: I'm fully activated after that coffee.
