Pro ___

Answer:

BONO

Hint:

This Latin phrase means "for the good" and is often used to describe work done without charge for a public or charitable cause.

Explanation:

"Pro ___" hints at the Latin phrase "pro bono," meaning work done for free, often in legal or professional contexts. The answer is "BONO," which is the second part of that phrase. It’s also a nod to the U2 frontman Bono, though the clue leans more on the legal term here. The blank suggests you’re filling in the missing word after "pro."
