In the literature, I have read the term, "ynoate" refer to a sort of alkyne. Searching through the IUPAC gold book and Google has failed to return an explicit definition.

ynoate refers to a derivative of an alkyne acid. e.g. ethyl-3-butynoate structure here

The simplest of these is propiolic acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propiolic_acid
