Morphology
self-disciplined = disciplined (transparent) = self + discipline + ed
The final meaning is directly derived by adding 'self-' (indicating reflexive agency) to 'disciplined' (trained/controlled), so learners who know both parts can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Self-disciplined combines self ('your own') and discipline (a word that originally meant 'training' or 'teaching'). So, a self-disciplined person trains and controls themselves to follow rules and reach goals.
