Morphology
self-awareness = self-aware (transparent) = self + aware + ness
Formed by adding the productive nominalizer '-ness' to the transparent adjective 'self-aware' (self + aware), yielding 'awareness of oneself'.
Etymology
Self-awareness comes from self- meaning 'oneself' and aware meaning 'watchful' or 'knowing', with -ness turning the idea into a thing. So, self-awareness is being 'watchful' about your own feelings, thoughts, and character.
