Hydrochloric acid was called spirits of salt or acidum salis (salt acid). It is also said that these terms are still in use today, especially in non-English speaking countries. Another name for hydrochloric acid that you would find in a hardware store is muriatic acid.

Chemically difined, it is a (more or less concentrated) solution of hydrogen chloride, HCl.
