... although this fool is reportedly busier! (5)

I believe the answer is:

moron

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'although this fool is reportedly busier' is the definition.
'moron' can be an answer for 'fool' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

This is all the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moron that I've seen before include "Complete imbecile" , "Blockhead" , "Simpleton" , "Foolish or stupid person" , "Cretin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
