It is an abbreviation for "pro tempore". I have always said "pro temp"
too, but I gather that "pro tem" and "pro tem." are also widely used. I
think that "protem" is rather more pomo (post-Modern), although I think
that CamelCase ought to be used (I'm old-fashioned when it comes to
post-Modernism): "ProTem" - however I have refrained from commenting on
this until now.
