(self-relocate)
move oneself to a new place
Etymology
'self-relocate' originates from Modern English compounding of 'self' (originating in Old English 'self', where 'self' meant 'oneself') and 'relocate' (a 20th-century English verb formed from the prefix 're-' plus 'locate').
'relocate' changed from the Late Latin/modern formation 're-' + Late Latin 'locare' (to place) through Modern English 'locate' and then the prefixed English verb 'relocate'; the compound 'self-relocate' is a more recent Modern English formation combining 'self-' with 'relocate', and it produced the derived adjective/past form 'self-relocated'.
Initially, components meant 'oneself' and 'to place again', and over time the compound came to mean 'to move oneself to a different place' (and as a past form, 'has moved oneself').
