Answer:-

There appears to be some controversy on just what glacial acetic acid is. The term refers to pure acetic acid, CH3-COOH.

It could be just called acetic acid or you could use the IUPAC name which is ethanoic acid. So why is it commonly referred to as glacial acetic acid? Many moons ago, labs in the winter time could be cold. Pure acetic acid freezes around 16 deg C so on cooler days, the acetic acid would begin to freeze and the solid acetic acid would form and has the appearance of glacial ice.
