Osmosis.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane. More specifically, it is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water potential (low solute concentration) to an area of low water potential (high solute concentration). It is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semi-permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.
Osmosis.
It could be either simple diffusion or if a semipermeable membrane is involved, osmosis.

Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
This is not special at all, it is what happens normally. You can also think of it as water moving down a solute gradient (from low solute concentration to high solute concentration, till the concentrations are the same. The name for this process is osmosis.
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.

hypertonic
Water does flow to a region of more concentrated solute, by the process of osmosis.
