What is the name of the phenomenon that causes observed light from a star to change its wavelength?

Gravitational redshift is the change in a light wave’s wavelength as it moves through a gravitational field. Light escaping a star’s gravity is shifted toward longer wavelengths, so the phenomenon is gravitational redshift. Gravitational lensing bends the path of light, while gravitational flux is not the name for this wavelength change.
