in the given reaction

CH3COOH --> acetic acid

CH3COH ---> methyl alcohol

CH3COOCH3 ---> methyl ethanoate

we know that

the general form of an ester is RCOOR`

so

methyl ethanoate is an ester

So

the given reaction can be written as

acid + alcohol ---> ester + H20

this type of reaction in which acid and alcohol combines to form an ester is called fisher esterification
