Morphology
The meaning 'attaining authority' is directly and compositionally derived from 'rise' (move up) + 'to' (toward) + 'power' (authority); a learner who knows those words can infer someone is moving into a position of power. This construction is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'ascender al poder', French 'accéder au pouvoir'), reinforcing its straightforward, transparent interpretation.
Etymology
Rise to power paints a simple picture: someone rising up steps to a high seat where the leaders sit, a place of power. That's why it means 'to gain control'.
