Etymology
[after 1372] Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-Finno-Ugric *pë??- (“color; to color, paint”) + -t (causative suffix).

fest
- (transitive) to paint
- Coordinate term: mázol
- (transitive) to dye
- (intransitive) to look in some way
- Synonyms: kinéz, látszik, t?nik
Usage notes
The stative types of the sense verbs feel, smell, and taste are uncommon in Hungarian (i.e., those expressing some sensory information conveyed, in contrast to the voluntary actions of using these senses or the involuntary perception). Instead, adjectival (-ú/-?/-jú/-j?) and possessive (…-a/-e/-ja/-je van) constructions are used, and these are also applicable for sound. (The first two rows are for action verbs and perception verbs that behave similarly to English.)
On the other hand, certain verbs can express particular sensory impressions, e.g. illatozik (“to smell sweet, to be fragrant”) and b?zlik (“to stink, to reek”).
