When something is raised to the nth power, it means that it is being multiplied by itself n times. For example, 2 to the power of 3 (2^3) means 2 multiplied by itself 3 times, which equals 8. The exponent, or the number being raised to the power of n, indicates how many times the base number is multiplied by itself.

What does exponet mean in math terms?

Nothing: there is no such word. However, an exponent is another trm for power. an is a short way of writing a*a*...*a where the multiplication is carried out n times. In this case, n is the exponent or power and an is "a to the nth power", or less commonly "a to the nth exponent" or in the shortened form "a to the nth". Some exponenets have special names: 2 is squared, 3 is cubed. Exponents need not be integers or positive, but their meaning and use is less obvious.
