  1. Sapid character or property; the property of stimulating or pleasing the palate; tastefulness; savor; relish. As for their taste, if their nutriment be air, neither can it be an instrument thereof; for the body of that element is ingustible, void of all sapidity. Sir T. Browne, Vulg. Err., iii. 21.
