The term ''exponentiation'' is more generally used in mathematics for operations that involve taking a base to a power, since the term ''involution'' is used for a number of unrelated concepts across different contexts.  Operations analogous to taking powers are widespread throughout mathematics and Peirce frequently makes use of them in a number of important applications, for example, in his theory of information.  But that's another story.
