why is water so very wet?

Answer 1

Water is wet because the wetter, the better. In other words, "Viscosity." This is not to be confused with the city of the Visigoths who ended up ransacking the countryside and pillaging the poor villagers, and yes, the Village People, too.
Water is wet so that the fish and other ocean, lake and river creatures can move through it with fluent ease. Friction is not your friend when you are trying to move. We need to be able to drink. We need for boats not to sink. We need for our plumbing to work. This is why water is wet.

But, really, why is water wet? Water is wet because our sensations say it is so. We feel wetness. We get out of a pool and we are dripping, uh, you know. We take a shower and we're, um, you know again.

The question of why is water wet cannot be answered with regular science methodology, but can be answered in Zen Physics. Water is wet because this is the nature of water. The nature of rock is to be hard. The nature of grass is to be green. The nature of water is to be wet. To take away from its true nature is to destroy what is and thus water is not water anymore. It may be ice, but it surely is not water. Water begets wetness. Wetness begets slipperiness. Slipperiness begets falling. Falling begets a long and painful hospital stay.

Answer 2

Water is not wet.

See definition:

wet /wet/ adj., verb, noun
adj. (wetter, wettest)
1 covered with or containing liquid, especially water: wet clothes wet grass You’ll get wet (= in the rain) if you go out now. Try not to get your shoes wet. His face was wet with tears. We were all soaking wet (= extremely wet). Her hair was still dripping wet. My shirt was wet through (= completely wet).
2 (of weather, etc.) with rain: a wet day a wet climate It’s wet outside. It’s going to be wet tomorrow. It was the wettest October for many years. The weather will be wet and windy in the south.
3 (of paint, ink, etc.) not yet dry: Keep off! Wet paint.
4 if a child or its nappy/diaper is wet, its nappy/diaper is full of urine
5 (BrE) (of a person) (informal, disapproving) lacking a strong character

Note definition (1). Water is the element that makes something else wet, it is not itself wet. Water cannot be surrounded by, or immersed in water. If you put water in water in an effort to make it wet, the water that you put in will become part of the water that you've added it to. So water cannot be made wet.

So, sorry. Water is not wet.
