Morphology

frogsicle + treat

The phrase is a compound of a nonce blend ('frogsicle' — likely frog + popsicle) plus 'treat', so its intended meaning (a frozen sweet resembling a frog) is inferable from the parts. However 'frogsicle' is not a standard word and relies on recognizing the playful -sicle/popsicle pattern, so a B1 learner might guess the meaning but it is not fully predictable for all learners without exposure.

Etymology

The name frogsicle treat may come from joining frog and popsicle, so picture a small frozen sweet shaped like a frog on a stick. Children eat it to cool off, so the phrase means 'a frozen dessert shaped like or resembling a frog'.
