But is water actually wet? Wouldn’t what makes it wet instead be classified as making the body of water larger instead?

- ryeights 4y ago>Wouldn’t what makes it wet instead be classified as making the body of water larger instead? No. See: wet paint

- probably_wrong 4y agoI always informally understood "wet" as something having (excess?) water. In that case, I'd say water is not wet because wetness is the result of adding water to something dry, which doesn't apply to water itself. For water to be wet you'd need "wetness" to be a property you can substract from it, and yet I don't think "dry water" is a concept that exists. So I'm going with "no".
