Premise (from the Latin '''''praemisus''''', meaning "placed in front") can refer to:
A premise (also "'''premiss'''" in British usage) is a Statement presumed true within the context of a discourse, especially of a Logical Argument . Often premises are explicitly stated. The accuracy of the conclusion depends on the truth of the premises.
Premises are land and buildings together considered as a place of business. This usage arose from property owners finding the word in their title deeds, where it originally correctly meant "the aforementioned; what this document is about".
