Morphology
self-sustaining = sustaining (transparent) = self + sustain + ing
The meaning is clearly derived from 'sustaining' with the addition of 'self' to indicate independence.
Etymology
Self-sustaining joins self ('by oneself') and sustain ('to keep' or 'support'), the same root you see in sustainable. So, something that is self-sustaining can 'keep itself going' and does not need help from outside.
