Morphology
self-indulgently = self-indulgent (semi-transparent) = self + indulgent + ly
The meaning is derived from 'self-indulgent', but the specific connotation of excess or lack of restraint may not be immediately apparent.
Etymology
Self-indulgently is made from self ('your own') and indulge ('to give in to a desire' or 'treat yourself'), and the ending -ly turns it into a word that describes how something is done. So to act self-indulgently is to 'treat' yourself or let yourself have what you want, often when it is not good for you.
