n. A report or statement made by an individual about their own behavior, experiences, or condition.
vt. To disclose or describe one's own actions, feelings, or status formally or informally.
The word combines "self," derived from Old English "self" (meaning "one's own person"), with "report," from Latin "reportare" ("to carry back," via Old French "reporter"). The fusion reflects the concept of an individual conveying information about themselves, emphasizing autonomy in documentation. The term gained prominence in psychology and research to describe first-person data collection methods.
