Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you'll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as "terrorists". Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.
That makes sense, since, as far as i can tell, the U.S. seems to be a modern hybrid of the British empire which spawned it and the German war machine it assimilated into itself about 80 years ago.
