'up' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a commotion' is the wordplay.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for astir that I've seen before include "This isn't still" , "Out of bed or on the move" , "abroad" , "Busy" , "in the land of the living" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
