Morphology
self-generated = self-generate (transparent) = self + generate + ed
Formed from the verb 'self-generate' by adding -ed to make an adjective; the meaning 'produced by itself' is directly compositional.
Etymology
Self-generated breaks into self meaning 'by itself' and generate meaning 'to make', the same root you see in generator. So a self-generated thing 'makes itself' or creates its own power without outside help.
