Morphology

fishsicle + treat

The noun 'treat' makes the general meaning (a snack or sweet) transparent, and 'fishsicle' appears to be a creative blend of 'fish' + '-sicle' (as in popsicle), suggesting a fish-shaped frozen snack. Because 'fishsicle' is not a standard dictionary word and requires recognizing the playful '-sicle' formation (or could be misread as a treat made from fish), the overall meaning is only partially predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Fishsicle treat likely comes from mixing fish and popsicle, giving a clear picture of a small frozen snack shaped like a fish. That's why it means 'a colorful frozen dessert for children'.
