motif （藝術、文學、音樂中反覆出現的）主題、意象；（設計上）重複的圖案｜字脈

1
A motif is an idea, image, or short pattern that keeps coming back again and again in a piece of art, music, writing, or design, and helps carry a meaning. In a novel, a motif might be an object like a red door that appears every time something important happens. In music, a motif is a short musical idea repeated through a piece. In design or fabric, a motif is just a repeated shape or pattern, like a flower shape printed again and again on wallpaper. It's a word you'll meet mostly in art class, literature class, or design contexts, not really in casual daily talk.
