activity

Engaged in action

Activity is doing something, as opposed to remaining passive or at rest.

The word covers both the general state of being active and specific things people do: outdoor activities, extracurricular activities, criminal activity.

Physical activity means exercise or movement.

Brain activity refers to neural functioning.

When there's activity in a place, things are happening there—people moving, events unfolding.
