What it means

him- (her-, it-, them-, also (in conjunction with the personal pronoun of the other persons) my-, thy-, our-, your-) self (selves), etc.

from a reflexive pronoun otherwise obsolete and the genitive case (dative case or accusative case) of G846 (αὐτός);

How the KJV renders it

alone, her own, self, himself, his, itself, one another, our own, their own, own selves, them, they, thyself, you, your own, own conceits, selves

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
