wetness

Presence of liquid

Wetness is the state or quality of being wet—covered or saturated with water or another liquid.

The word describes both the condition itself and the sensation it produces: the wetness of the grass soaked through her shoes.

Wetness can refer to moisture in general or, in sexual contexts, to vaginal lubrication indicating arousal.
