Moving around
Answer:
ASTIR
Hint:
Think of a word that describes a slight but noticeable activity, like leaves rustling in a gentle breeze or whispers in a quiet room.
Explanation:
"Moving around" hints at something being active or in motion, and "astir" fits perfectly as it means slightly moving or buzzing with activity. The word plays on the idea of not being still—think of leaves rustling or people stirring in a room. It’s a concise way to describe gentle movement without outright saying "moving."
