Morphology

frozen + orange + juice

The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'frozen' (preserved by freezing) modifies 'orange juice' (the liquid of the orange), so a learner who knows the words will infer it is orange juice that has been frozen. Any additional detail about concentration or reconstitution is a specific commercial nuance but does not prevent the basic, transparent interpretation, which is cross-linguistically common.

Etymology

Frozen orange juice comes from a simple idea: people took out much of the water from fresh orange juice to make a thick concentrate and then froze it so it would keep longer. That's why the name links frozen and orange juice — the product is an icy, concentrated 'orange juice' you later mix with water to drink.
