Wikipedia has an opinion about this: In grammar </wiki/Grammar>, a *pro-verb* is a word or phrase that stands in place of a verb (for example, in order that the verb not need to be repeated). It does for a verb what the more widely known pronoun </wiki/Pronoun> does for a noun. It, along with pronouns and some other word classes, form the general group of word classes pro-forms </wiki/Pro-forms>. It is a type of anaphora </wiki/Anaphora_%28linguistics%29>. This term is always hyphenated, to distinguish it from the unrelated term proverb </wiki/Proverb>.
