spacey
Lost in thought
Spacey describes someone who seems mentally absent or disconnected from their surroundings—vague, dreamy, or unfocused: She's been really spacey all day.
The word evokes someone whose mind has drifted into space.
It often suggests the effects of fatigue, distraction, or intoxication.
Also spelled spacy.
