Meaning is directly formed by adding the productive prefix 'self-' to 'complacent', indicating self-directed complacency.
Etymology
Self-complacent combines self- ('oneself') with complacent, which comes from Latin placere meaning 'to please'. So a self-complacent person is 'pleased with themselves', often too much and not seeing their faults.
