Ethanoate is a compound that contains the -OOC-CH3 rest.
(derived from ethanoic acid). The more common name is acetate.
It could be different things, but it is probably an ester.

Negative ion derived from ethanoic (acetic) acid; any salt containing this ion. In photography, acetate film is a non-flammable film made of cellulose ethanoate. In textiles, it is known as acetate, and is most commonly known in the form of a synthetic fibre which can be woven or knitted to produce a variety of different fabrics including satin, moire, and taffeta. Fabrics made from acetate absorb moisture, do not shrink, and are cheaper to produce than natural fibres, but they also tend to attract dirt and can be damaged by heat. Acetate filaments are also used to make filters for cigarettes.

Acetate, or ethanoate, is the anion of a salt or ester of acetic acid.
The acetate ion has the formula CH3COO−, and is the conjugate base of acetic acid.
Acetate can also refer to cellulose acetate, especially fibers or other derived products such as the acetate disc used in audio record production. Acetate can be found in many household products.
Prior to the discovery and naming of actinium, the abbreviation Ac (or AC) was sometimes used in chemical formulas to indicate the acetate ion. For example, the formula for sodium acetate might be given as NaAc, rather than the more modern CH3COONa or NaC2H3O2. In the field of organic chemistry the abbreviation Ac refers to the acetyl group CH3CO, therefore in the organic chemistry literature acetate is referred to as −OAc, sodium acetate as NaOAc, and ethyl acetate as EtOAc.

ethanoate - CH3COO-
An ethanoate is formed when a carboxylic acid, in this case, ethanoic acid reacts with a metal or an alcohol. It is NOT an alcohol, but is derived from an acid.
e.g.
2CH3COOH + 2Na <==> 2CH3COONa + H2
where it reacts with sodium to form sodium ethanoate and hydrogen.
or
CH3COOH + CH3OH <==> CH3COOCH3 + H2O
where it reacts with methanol to form methyl ethanoate and water.

It is not alcohol. An alcohol has ...ol at the end e.g. ethanol
