What it does

from the PowerShell reference, CC BY 4.0

Gets approved PowerShell verbs. The Get-Verb function gets verbs that are approved for use in PowerShell commands. PowerShell recommends cmdlet and function names have the Verb-Noun format and include an approved verb. This practice makes command names more consistent, predictable, and easier to use. Commands that use unapproved verbs run in PowerShell. However, when you import a module that includes a command with an unapproved verb in its name, the Import-Module command displays a warning message. NOTE: The verb list that Get-Verb returns might not be complete. For an updated list of approved PowerShell verbs with descriptions, see Approved Verbs.
