Morphology
autotransplantation = transplantation (transparent) = auto + transplant + ation
The word transparently means transplantation involving the same person's own tissue, with auto- contributing the sense of 'self'.
Etymology
Autotransplantation comes from auto- 'self' and transplant 'to move and put in a new place', like planting a tree somewhere else. So autotransplantation is when doctors move tissue from one part of a person's body to another part of the same person.
