Morphology
cold + mansicle
Although 'mansicle' is not a standard dictionary word, its form evokes familiar frozen‑related items (popsicle, icicle) and the adjective 'cold' directly signals a frozen treat, so a learner could plausibly infer the general meaning. However the nonce element 'man-' and the lack of an established lexical entry make the exact sense and referent unpredictable without exposure, so the relation is only partly transparent.
Etymology
Cold mansicle may come from joining man and icicle, making the picture of a frozen treat shaped like a little man or a grown-up popsicle. So, it means 'a frozen treat similar to a popsicle'.
