Word origin
The word 'premise' originated from the Latin word 'praemissa' meaning 'things mentioned before'. In logic, a premise is a statement that serves as evidence for a conclusion. Over time, the term expanded to include the physical location of a business or company. In law, premises refer to matters previously stated or set forth in a legal context.
