rasagga : (nt.) the finest quality of taste.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Rasagga refers to: finest quality (of taste), only in further compn with °aggita (ras-agga-s-aggita) most delicate sense translation Dial.) D. III, 167, and °aggin (ras-agga-s-aggin, cp. MVastu II. 306: rasa-ras’âgrin) of the best quality (of taste, cp. above 2), said of the Mahāpurisa D. II, 18= III, 144 (cp. translation Dial. II. 15 “his taste is supremely acute”). The phrase & its wording are still a little doubtful. Childers gives etym. of rasaggas-aggin as rasa-ggas-aggin, ggas representing gras to swallow (not otherwise found in Pāli!), and explains the BSk. ras’âgrin as a distortion of the P. form.

Note: rasagga is a Pali compound consisting of the words rasa and agga.
