Morphology
self-renewing = renewing (transparent) = self + renew + ing
Formed by adding the productive prefix 'self-' to 'renewing' (renew + -ing), so the meaning 'able to renew itself' follows directly from the parts.
Etymology
Self-renewing breaks into self- meaning 'by itself' and renew meaning 'make new again', which links to the simple word new. So a self-renewing thing can 'make itself new again', like stem cells that replace themselves or a system that keeps going without outside help.
