Morphology
self-renewal = renewal (transparent) = self + renewal
Formed by productive prefixation of 'self-' to the noun 'renewal', yielding the straightforward meaning 'renewal of oneself'.
Etymology
Self-renewal starts with self ('oneself') and renew (from new, 'make new again'), so it literally means 'make yourself new again'. That's why self-renewal describes the process of regaining energy, skill, or strength to keep growing or working.
