entropy n 1 : a measure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is also usually considered to be a measure of the system’s disorder and that is a property of the system’s state and is related to it in such a manner that a reversible change in heat in the system produces a change in the measure which varies directly with the heat change and inversely with the absolute temperature at which the change takes place. 2a : the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity. 2b : a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder.

I just love that word.
