Quintessence. That's what it means:

  '(In Ancient and Medieval philosophy) ether, the fifth and highest essence or element after earth air, water and fire, which was thought to be the constituent matter of the heavenly bodies and latent in all things. [C15 via French from Medieval Latin 'quinta essentia' the fifth essence]
