The content is the diff (including description/test plan), which I'd argue should be the name.

It could be in a draft state, awaiting review, accepted for merge, or being merged.

'diff' is the shortest at most descriptive name.

There is no "correct" name. You only see things from your standpoint, and so does everyone else. There is nothing about your opinion that is any less arbitrary than all the opinions that disagree with you.
When I hear “PR” I think of a tree of git commits. When I hear “diff” I think of one set of squashed text changes, for a tool that doesn’t support git.
