shevek commented on the word tetration
As exponentiation is to multiplication, tetration is to exponentiation. Quite an interesting operation, because no one has yet found a well behaved way to generalize tetration beyond the natural numbers. Tetration is notated as a superscript before the number to be tetrated.
