@Mx. Granger, Gamren, Hiztegilari, Ppcosta Do you think the etymology was influenced by German selbstverständlich, maybe also by self-evident? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:05, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have no special insight into whether this was calqued from this or that language, but I can say that the word exists in Danish, as selvforståelig, and probably some other languages.__Gamren (talk) 14:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Many Esperanto words are borrowings or calques that can't be traced to a single European language because similar words exist in a number of European languages. Our "Etymology" sections sometimes indicate this. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
