Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for RSA is neighbouring look-alikes ("RV", "RZ", …), not just typos; it is anabbreviation pronounced […]. Frequency #48,432 among 2,984 “R” headwords. Gloss: "Abkürzung für Risikostrukturausgleich".
RSA has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "RV", "RZ", "Ru", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is RSA, spelled R-S-A.
