Morphology
thyself = thy + self (transparent) = thy + self
Formed by the straightforward combination of the possessive 'thy' and 'self', yielding the reflexive meaning 'yourself' despite being archaic.
Etymology
Thyself is made of thy meaning 'your' and self meaning 'your own person', so it literally means 'yourself'. It is an old form used when speaking to one person as thou, which is why you mostly see it in older or poetic English.
