booked

Booked is the past tense and past participle of the verb book, indicating that something has been reserved, scheduled, or otherwise secured. In hospitality, travel, and event planning, items such as hotel rooms, flights, tables, tickets, and appointments are described as booked once arrangements are confirmed. In professional contexts, a performer, venue, or service provider may say they are booked for a date, meaning a contract or agreement has been established.

In law enforcement, booked refers to the processing of a person after arrest. A booked individual is entered into the system, often including collecting identifying information and charges; this is known as booking, and being booked does not imply guilt.

In everyday language, fully booked or booked solid indicates no availability for the desired date or time. The term also appears in sports and entertainment schedules, where a match, show, or event is said to be booked when it is officially scheduled.

Related terms include booking (the act or process), bookings (reservations), and booked-out as an adjective describing a completely full calendar. The term is widely used across industries and can function as both a verb form and an adjective, with meaning inferred from context.
