adjective, accusative singular masculine (rassa is more commonly the comparative/superlative stem; if this is surface rassaṁ as acc.sg., it modifies a masculine noun)
Etymology. Root √rassa; Sanskrit rasa- may relate to a root meaning 'shrink' or 'contract', though the connection is uncertain. The word belongs to the same semantic family as Latin restis 'rope' (which shortens/contracts) and English 'rash' in the sense of hasty/quick, though these cognate connections are speculative.
