She study’d well the point, and found
Her foes conclusions were not sound,
From premises erroneous brought,
And therefore the deduction’s nought. Jonathan Swift, Miscel.
Wikipedia
Premises
Premises are land and buildings together considered as a property. 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", from Latin prae-missus = "placed before".In this sense, the word is always used in the plural, but singular in construction. Note that a single house or a single other piece of property is "premises", not a "premise", although the word "premises" is plural in form; e.g. "The equipment is on the customer's premises", never "The equipment is on the customer's premise".

Premises refer to a set of statements or claims that are used as the basis for an argument or the foundation for logical reasoning. These statements can be assumed or accepted as true, and they often lead to the conclusion or inference being drawn. Premises are essential in constructing a logical and valid argument as they provide the evidence or support for one's conclusions or beliefs.
