Morphology

self-realization = self + realization (semi-transparent) = self + realization

The compound is formed from 'self' + 'realization' and the basic sense 'realization of the self' is directly expressed by the parts.

Etymology

The word self-realization begins with self ('your own person') and the second part comes from realize and real ('real' or 'make real'), so you can imagine it as 'making yourself real'. That's why self-realization means reaching your full potential and becoming who you truly are.
