Throughout this post I will use “related” as an exact synonym for “not independent”, as a way of simplifying the language.
For “A is not independent of B” you could say “A is informative about B”, inspired by “mutual information”.
I think this sounds better to my ears. Like “the first coin toss is related to the second coin toss” is kinda true—of course they are related! they are both about coins!
but “the first coin toss is informative about the second coin toss” is obviously false

Thanks, good idea!
