This describes very specifically how water makes other things wet. Nowhere, does it describe water making itself wet, because it can’t. Wetness is a property that water can give to other things, not to itself.

moisture wetness caused by water

water is wet. water contains moisture, because water is moisture.

Or you can go the chemical route, which is so eloquently put by Professor Richard Saykally:

they’d say, “Strong tetrahedral hydrogen bonding!” But that’s the correct answer. That’s what makes water wet.

Or if you’re more into videos you can watch an entire lecture on it. vimeo.com/11854837

  I see where you’re mistaken: water isn’t wet, it just makes things wet.

    Lol literally arguing with a chemist who’s only job was studying water. Yeah I can see where you’re mistaken. Thinking you’re smarter than the professionals.
