moony
Lost in reverie
Moony describes someone dreamy, listless, or lost in thought—often with connotations of being lovesick or absent-minded: She's been moony ever since she met him.
The word suggests a vague, unfocused quality, as if someone is gazing at the moon rather than attending to practical matters.
It can also mean resembling the moon in shape or appearance, though this sense is rare.
