The term "hydrophillic" literally means water loving.

Hydrophillic substances are those that have an affinity of water, meaning they are easily dissolved and absorbed in water. Polar substances, those which have charges on the atoms of their molecules, tend to be hydrophillic due to the fact that water itself is a polar substance.
