PRO

Letters for officer

Pro has two distinct sources.

One means in favor of or supporting: the pros and cons, pro-democracy, pro-choice.

The other is short for professional—someone paid for work others do as amateurs: a golf pro, pro wrestling.

As an adjective, pro suggests expert quality: a pro job, pro-level equipment.
