As we see it, how we say it.. because Hungarian is an ancient language, likely words were created from images that were obvious for most. The logic remained over the centuries. Coincidentally, modern science claims visual learning is faster and retained longer. 

Here are a few observations from a YouTuber, Frederic Cornelius, who moved to Hungary:

• tükör tojás            - német: Spiegel -tükör, Ei-tojás, francia: œuf sur le plat  - fried egg
                                     when it hardens the yolk reflects light and resembles a mirror - we don't turn it over
• fekvőrendőr         - laying cop        - speed bump       - a bit spirited incentive...
• porszívó                - dust sucker    - vacuum cleaner - isn't this obvious? 
• mosómedve         - washing bear - racoon
                                   (their hands are often in the water as they feel the  crabs etc.)
• pattogatott kukorica - bouncing/exploding corn      - pop corn
• villanykörte         - electric pear   - light bulb             - well, that's how it looks like 
                                       (and a bit of extra: Acidity is a key factor: pear will conduct electricity because of the
                                        electrolytes, but it has resistance to the current flow, making it a weak conductor.)
• tengeralattjáró  - under see transport - submarine
                                       ( jár, means walk or transport i.e. Erre jár a 8s busz? Is the number 8 bus coming this way?)
