Morphology

rollick + time

The meaning 'a lively and enjoyable time' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rollick' (to act boisterously) with 'time' (an occasion). Although English more commonly uses the adjectival form 'rollicking time', the semantic composition is straightforward and a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended sense.

Etymology

Rollick time may come from the older word rollick, which gives the picture of people 'rolling' with laughter or rough, happy movement. So rollick time means 'a lively and enjoyable time'.
