Morphology
self-organization = self + organization (transparent) = self + organization
Meaning is directly built from 'self' + 'organization' indicating organizing by oneself or one's group.
Etymology
Self-organization combines self ('by yourself') and organize ('to put in order'). So it means people arranging themselves or forming a group on their own, without someone in charge.
