In Hungarian the noun kép refers to the German noun Bild. In case of English the situation is a bit more difficult since there is a slight difference between the meaning of the terms picture and image. The meaning of the Hungarian kép might refer to both English terms, but in case of image as it refers to mental phenomena there are other affixed words in use as well.

Etymological roots

Etymologically kép is rooted in the Old-Turkic word ki:b. The Old-Turkic word originally refers to mould, model in a concrete sense. It shortly gained metaphoric meaning ‘likeness’, ‘resemblance’. The Turkic gibi came to be used as a postposition meaning ‘like’. The Turkic meaning was ‘shape’, ‘form’, ‘image’, and ‘likeness’. Despite the fact that Hungarian is a Finno-Ugrian language and Islam had a considerable effect as it relates to pictures, the evolution of the meaning both gibi and kép is surprisingly similar. Although kép is as old as the most elementary words like wheat and wood, the earliest occurrence of the word is in Christian texts, from ca. 1315 “szent oltarum kunar kepeben” [in form of bread on the holy altar]. (Róna-Tas 1999:368)
