Hydrophobic

The ("phob") fear of ("hydr") water.

A rain jacket is a prime example of a hydrophobic. When water touches the jacket, the water rolls off and the jacket is unaffected. In biology a hydrophobic source will not dissolve in water, much like the jacket, and will most likely try to get rid of the water.
