Etymology
'self-disciplined' originates from the combination of 'self' and 'discipline', where 'self' refers to one's own person and 'discipline' comes from Latin 'disciplina', meaning 'instruction' or 'training'.
'Discipline' evolved from the Latin word 'disciplina', which transformed into the Old French 'descepline', and eventually became the modern English word 'discipline'.
Initially, 'discipline' meant 'instruction' or 'training', but over time it evolved to include the concept of self-control and regulation.
