popcycle not a word?

I'm thinking about the lolly pop /ice cream thingy but with a wooden stick, so how come popcycle is not a word?

Hello yuriythebest, and welcome to English Forums. The word you're looking for is popsicle. It's actually not ice cream on a stick, but more like flavored ice.

It gets the second half of the word from icicle (frozen water), not from something like bicycle, 'pop' being a casual word for cold flavored drink
