People writing about the coronavirus outbreak think it refers to the water and blood all over such places because they slaughter live animals, fish, and birds on the spot for retail customers.
Or that it's just an incomprehensible name for markets that do that sort of retail business.
But that's not what Wikipedia thinks.
They use a definition that makes a wet market of any non-vegan American grocery.
A wet market (Spanish: mercado mojado or mercado húmedo) is a market selling fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets" which sell durable goods such as fabric and electronics.
OK, so Wikipedia isn't always right.
