    So a frozen cube of water can by your description get wet with the water when put in a glass of said water.

      What you are describing, is ice, a solid, not simply water, which is a liquid. This changes this scenario.

      No, not really. Water needs to adhere to the surface of the solid and water doesn’t adhere to a cube of ice, so no.

        Water wets on to ice. It’s a verb. For a physical effect. That does happen to water.

        If you want to be pedantic, be correct.
