A solvent is something capable of dissolving another substance. We call the substance (i.e. salt) that is dissolved in a solvent (i.e. water) the solute.
The same properties that make water cohesive and adhesive also make it a good solvent. However, water is not the only substance that is cohesive or adhesive. Remember that other molecules that have hydrogen covalently bonded to Fluorine (F), Oxygen (O), or Nitrogen (N) can also form hydrogen bonds.
