What does the word Bokeh mean? I read it many times but cannot really understand it.
It is not English, is it?

It is a rather recent term, introduced some ten years ago by adapting and transliterating the Japanese word ぼ け meaning blur. Not that there was a real need for such a new word: it just refers to the out of focus area of the image. Nothing more. Apparently though, most people has started paying attention to such areas just after a specific word was created for them. Which sounds odd :-)
