Oh, no I was talking about ex https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(classical_thermodyn...

There's other kinds of 'entropy' that have distinct lineages and contexts than 'information entropy', but information is kind of the basis for everything physically so if you squint a bit you can make any non-information entropy look like information entropy

Yes that's where the term came from. They're (effectively) the same thing as I understand it.
