Morphology

exponentiate = exponent (transparent) = exponent + iate

The verb is formed by adding the verb-forming suffix '-iate' to the noun 'exponent', yielding the mathematical meaning 'raise to a power'.

Etymology

Exponentiate comes from exponent, built from ex- 'out' and ponere 'to put', the same root you see in position. In math an exponent is the small number that shows how often to multiply, so to exponentiate is to raise a number to a power.
