Morphology
self-proclaimed = proclaimed (transparent) = self + proclaim + ed
Meaning is directly composed from 'self' (one's own) + 'proclaimed' (declared), so a learner who knows those parts can infer the sense.
Etymology
Self-proclaimed comes from self ('your own') and proclaim ('announce' or 'say loudly'). So a self-proclaimed person is someone who 'announces' a title or status about themselves, often without other people accepting it.
