 Do you know why /kori(=ice)/ became /gori/?

↓ 

A word which consists of two words such as かき+氷/kakigori/ (かき+こおり)

The initial sound of the second word, in this case, こおり/kori/, tends to be vocalized as ごおり/gori/: /k/(unvoiced sound)→/g/(voiced sound). It is a universal phenomenon that consonants in between vowels(voiced sound) are likely to be voiced. e.g. resolve vs. solve.
