the.com/information

means The facts, signals, or knowledge that reduce uncertainty about something — what you get when data is organized enough to actually tell you something.

from From Latin informare, 'to give form to, shape, or train' — built from in- ('into') plus formare ('to form'), itself from forma ('shape, mold'). The original sense was literal: to put something into shape, to mold a mind through instruction. Only gradually, over centuries, did 'information' drift from 'the shaping of a person's understanding' to 'the stuff that does the shaping' — the facts themselves, detached from any particular mind they're forming.
