The proper term is winged unicorn. Alicorn is never spoken anywhere in the show and furthermore that's not what alicorn means; alicorn is the (mythical) material that composes a unicorn horn. Similar to how elephant tusks are said to be made of ivory.

Rarity having temporary BUTTERFLY WINGS does not qualify her as a winged unicorn in the biological sense. If anything she would be a Flutter Pony.
