unbored
Actively mentally occupied
Unbored means not bored—engaged, interested, or entertained.
The word appears most often in contexts where boredom would be expected or feared: The long flight left me surprisingly unbored.
It carries a slight note of relief or pleasant surprise, acknowledging that boredom was a real possibility.
