Why pure acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid?

$\huge\bf {❥ANSWER}$

The Freezing point of pure acetic acid is very high. It freezes into a solid at a temperature very close to room temperature: 16.5 ºC, or 62 ºF. Hence, during winters it gets frozen due to cold climate and appears like an ice. That is why pure acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid.
