I found this, but it looks like it's referring to Old English, not modern, unless I'm misunderstanding. Do you have another source? Just curious at this point; I always considered the "water is wet" thing to just be a common misunderstanding of the actual meaning of the word.

EDIT: It looks like it's referring to origin, not usage, so I'll concede your point.
