A premise or premiss is a proposition—a true or false declarative statement—used in an argument to prove the truth of another proposition called the conclusion. Arguments consist of a set of premises and a conclusion.
AI overview
A premise is a statement that you use as the starting point to prove something else (called the conclusion) in an argument. It matters because arguments only work if their premises are actually true, since false or weak starting points can't reliably lead you to a trustworthy conclusion.
