(pronounced PRAH-fer)

This word is a more formal-sounding way to offer or to present for consideration or acceptance. In my head, I always say it with a British accent.

Example: After the leather manufacturer’s Italian workers went on strike indefinitely, Jude proffered an alternative, locally sourced material that they could use on the 400 club chairs needed for her firm’s boutique hotel client.
