What are aprotic and protic solvents?
Protic solvent. ... In general terms, any solvent that contains a labile H+ is called a protic solvent. The molecules of such solvents readily donate protons (H+) to reagents. Conversely, aprotic solvents cannot donate hydrogen.

Protic comes from the word proton. So the solvent which releases protons are called protic solvent like water, alcohol etc. And quite obviously which do not release protons are aprotic like ether, DMSO etc.
