"Wet" describes a non-mixing physical interaction between two or more things, one of them being water. Water itself is not wet because the water molecules are mixed together. If you talk about a single water molecule covered by more water molecules, that is not considered wet, that is considered submerged. So the water molecule is submerged in water. Because if you cover yourself with an amount of water millions of times the mass of your body, then you will not be wet, you will be submerged. The same thing happened with a single water molecule covered by millions of water molecules; it does not make that molecule wet, it makes it submerged.

So no. Water is not wet. But you can make something else wet with water.
