Morphology
autobiography = biography (transparent) = auto + bio + graphy
The word is transparently formed by adding auto- meaning 'self' to biography, so it means a biography written by the person themselves.
Etymology
Autobiography comes from three parts: auto- meaning 'self', bio- meaning 'life', and -graphy meaning 'writing', as you see in words like biology and autograph. So an autobiography is simply a person 'writing' the story of their own 'life'.
