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; broadly :
the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system
2 a : the degradation of the matter and energy
in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity
b : a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder
