Sometimes I hear of simply ‘aggregates’ and sometimes ‘grasping aggregates’. Is there a difference in meaning, phrasing, both or neither? I suspect this is an entry-level question, and also suspect I’ve heard the explanation before but cannot remember it. It’s difficult to search for because the terms are so common.
(The context which prompted me to ask was MN109 which uses both terms.)
SN 22.48 might have an answer. 
“Mendicants, I will teach you the five aggregates and the five grasping aggregates. Listen …
And what are the five aggregates?
Any kind of form at all—past, future, or present; internal or external; solid or subtle; inferior or superior; far or near: this is called the aggregate of form. Any kind of feeling at all … Any kind of perception at all … Any kind of choices at all … Any kind of consciousness at all—past, future, or present; internal or external; solid or subtle; inferior or superior; far or near: this is called the aggregate of consciousness. These are called the five aggregates.
And what are the five grasping aggregates?
Any kind of form at all—past, future, or present; internal or external; coarse or fine; inferior or superior; far or near, which is accompanied by defilements and fuels grasping: this is called the grasping aggregate of form. Any kind of feeling at all … Any kind of perception at all … Any kind of choices at all … Any kind of consciousness at all—past, future, or present; internal or external; coarse or fine; inferior or superior; far or near, which is accompanied by defilements and fuels grasping: this is called the grasping aggregate of consciousness. These are called the five grasping aggregates.”
