Etymology: "Wett" is an old past tense and past participle of the verb "wet," meaning to moisten or soak. It survives mainly in older English and in dialect, where speakers used it alongside the now-standard "wetted" and "wet." The verb descends from Old English "wǣtan," which came from the adjective "wæt," meaning damp or wet.
