To add quotation marks on a word

Is this action supposed to be called "add quotation marks on....(whatsoever word that is)...," or should it be
just "quote (the word)"?
THanks:)

Use "quote" for the first mark and "end quote" or "unquote" for the second. For example: The government says the economy is "growing" still. This is how you say it: The government says the economy is quote growing unquote/end quote still.
