It is translated as motive or motivation. It is a word derived from the medieval Latin motivum, meaning "that which gives motion," and is used figuratively first to describe the movement of objects, then to describe the motive (motivation) of human behavior, and finally as an artistic term. The Japanese word, which is a direct transfer of the pronunciation, can be considered an artistic term. A work of art is formed as a meaningful whole, and concrete materials are essential for the creation of a work. Therefore, a variety of things, from the spirit to the material, are involved in the creation of the core of the work, and motifs are understood in a wide variety of ways.

動機,動因と訳される。〈動きを与えるもの〉を意味する中世ラテン語motivumに由来する語で,まずは物体の運動に,ついで人間行動の動機(動機づけ)に,ひいては芸術用語として比喩的に用いられる。語音をそのまま移した邦語は芸術用語とみなしてよい。芸術作品は意味ある統一体として形成され,しかも作品成立には具体的な素材が不可欠である。それゆえ作品の核心に向けては精神から物質にわたる多様なものが参画することになり,モティーフも多種多様に理解される。
