Wetness is a necessary property of anything with the property of liquidity.
Liquid water exists.
Liquid water has the property of liquidity.
Hence, liquid water also has the property of wetness.

[stronger: Water is NECESSARILY wet]

how about: we use the word wet to describe something with high water content.

water has the highest "wet-ness" that we know of so water is wet.

Quoted By:

Wetness is the feeling we get when we get in contact with water. Is water wet? Or do we feel wet from touching water? Could water be wet without any interactions? Ofcourse not. This is the same dumb shit as "If a tree falls and there are no observer, did the tree make a sound?" These relational situation requires relations. You can't have a hot fire, or wet water or delicious apple unless we have someone interacting with those fire, water and apple. On its own, no qualities can be attributed to anything. They must always have a relational aspect for a proper answer.

you're basically just saying it's wet because we have defined it as such ie a tautology

Water isn't wet.
Other things get wet when they absorb water.

Now the real question. When you jump into water, do you get wet or does the water get (you)?
