active
Not standing still
Active describes something in motion, operation, or engagement rather than at rest.
An active volcano may erupt; an active member participates regularly.
Active contrasts with passive or dormant: She took an active role in the negotiations.
In grammar, the active voice has the subject performing the action rather than receiving it.
Active can also mean currently in effect: an active warrant, active duty.
