Morphology
strawberry + ice + cream
The meaning 'ice cream flavored with strawberries' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'strawberry' (the flavor/ingredient) with 'ice cream' (the frozen dessert); this is a straightforward noun–noun modification where the first noun specifies the flavor of the second. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and fully predictable for a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The name strawberry ice cream comes from the simple idea of mixing sweet strawberries into ice cream. So, it means 'ice cream flavored with strawberries'.
