busy

This four-letter work lends itself to being overused.  This is because its meaning 'fully occupied or engaged' can apply to multiple situations and circumstances.

For instance, 'busy work' in workplace contexts implies that the work being done is occupying people but is not necessarily valuable or relevant to the organisation and its purpose.

A 'busybody' is the name given to a person who involves themself in matters that are not relevant to them.
