Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryrasagga : (nt.) the finest quality of taste.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryRasagga 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.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
