exponent

Raised numerical notation

An exponent is someone who advocates or represents something: a leading exponent of free-market economics.

In mathematics, an exponent is the superscript number indicating how many times a base multiplies itself—in 2³, the exponent is 3.

The mathematical sense extends metaphorically: someone can be an exponent of a skill, embodying it at a high power.
