What Is the Term for the Process of Generating the ZK-proof?

The process of generating the zero-knowledge proof is generally referred to as 'proving' or 'proof generation.' Specifically, it involves the 'Prover' taking the set of off-chain transactions and the current state, performing the computation, and generating the concise cryptographic proof that the new state root is valid. This proof is then submitted to the Layer 1 verifier contract.
