The word SELFIE originally came from SELF. This noun can also work as a suffix to make reflexive pronouns. If you look at the photo you may say:
Fernanda is looking at HERSELF.
She is taking a photo of HERSELF.
HERSELF is a reflexive pronoun.
According to the British Council Learn English website:
"Reflexive pronouns are words like myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves. They refer back to a person or thing.
We often use reflexive pronouns when the subject and the object of a verb are the same.
I cut myself when I was making dinner last night.
I hope you enjoy yourselves at the party tonight!
My phone isn't working properly. It turns itself off for no reason.
We need to believe in ourselves more."
