Morphology
self-established = established (transparent) = self + establish + ed
The meaning is directly composed from the prefix 'self-' (by oneself) and 'established' (set up), so the sense is clear to learners.
Etymology
Self-established joins self- meaning 'by oneself' and established meaning 'set up', like the familiar word stable which means 'steady'. So a self-established person or group is one that has been 'set up' or made successful by themselves, without outside help.
