English term or phrase: raise to a power

'The number to be raised to a power'

Website localization. Translating the UI and bizarrely, this term keeps cropping up. Never been overally fantastic at Maths as it is so any help would be much appreciated. Obviously, the French term for power would be puissance, it's more the 'raise to a' that I am struggling with.

Many thanks.
