I understand what it is, like an item proc that delivers an effect on hit for example. But what does PROC actually mean? Does it stand for something or is it short for another word?

Apparently, there are several definitions available.
1) It stands for "Programmed Random OCcurence". This term pretty accurately describes the event itself, both its randomness and the fact there is some special effect.
2) Short for Procedure, or Special Procedure. Coming far back from the old text MUDs (Multi-user dungeons), it stands for the special procedure, or event, that happens when the stars are right and a random number fits some required range.
