Every built-in PowerShell cmdlet is composed of a verb and noun (Verb-Noun)—for example, Get-SPSite. The verb part of a cmdlet indicates an operation that will be performed, and the noun indicates the object on which the operation will be performed. The Get-SPSite command gets a SPSite object (SharePoint site collection object).
The other common PowerShell operations (verbs) are Set- (modifies object), Remove- (deletes object), and New- (creates a new object).
Most SharePoint cmdlets come with these four verb-noun combinations. However, some objects might have more or less cmdlets depending on the object type—for example, the SPSite object also comes with Backup-, Move-, and Restore- cmdlets.
