[單字] Self-made person

[krescent (かほ)]

要問的字詞：Self-made person


這句話是出現在一個知名英國教授的訪談文章裡：

My father had very little formal education. His childhood was spent during the
Spanish Civil War. He suffered a lot and went through tragic circumstances.
He was a self-made man, a very fine man.

請問在這裡的語意是什麼意思呢

感覺跟直觀的"自製"似乎是不太一樣的?!

謝謝大家
