Hydrophobic literally means "fear of water." It's used in chemistry to refer to "greasy" molecules (the opposite term is "hydrophilic", which means "water-loving") that don't dissolve readily in water. In medicine, it's an old term for rabies, which as one of its effects makes it painful to swallow; an animal with rabies often avoids water despite being thirsty because swallowing hurts so much.
