rapt
Lost in wonder
Rapt describes a state of complete absorption—so captivated by something that you're oblivious to everything else: The children sat rapt as the magician performed.
A rapt audience is utterly engaged.
Rapt attention is undivided focus.
The word suggests being transported or carried away by wonder, interest, or emotion.
