Is water wet?

Depends on which definition of "wet" you use:

1. moistened, covered, or soaked with water or some other liquid: wet hands.
No. Water can't be covered with water, nor can you consider water "covered with another liquid."

2. in a liquid form or state: wet paint.
Yes. I'm quite sure water at room temperature (and not room temperature in an unheated Antarctic place 😛) is in a liquid state.

3. characterized by the presence or use of water or other liquid.
Yes. Water does definitely contain the presence of water 😉.

Actually in point 1, each individual water molecule is indeed covered by other water molecules so you can make the argument that each molecule is in fact wet which would make the entire body wet.

So I'd say that Yes, water is wet because it's full of water.

Thought this was interesting too:

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.
