Oh My Word Premise Premises Vicinity
The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living human individuals. Thus the first fact to be established is the physical organisation of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.” –Karl Marx

What is your premise on the murder that took place on the premises of the university campus? Premise functions as a noun, and as a verb. As a noun, premise refers to an assumption; something that was said before as the basis for an argument or debate; antecedently supposed or proved; a condition; a supposition. Note that hypothesis is a conjecture explaining about an observation, phenomenon or scientific problem which can be tested with further experimentation.
Premise is an assumption; the fundamental aspect of a plot in a movie, play that drives the story. Premise also refers to any of the first proposition of a syllogism from which a conclusion is derived. Surmise is forming an opinion about someone, something without having all the facts at hand, or without knowing the complete truth or the complete picture.
Premise is pronounced as prem-iss. Premise as verb, pronounced as pri-myz, meaning to say or write by way of introduction to a subject or topic. As a verb premise refers to assume something as a proposition, set for beforehand. The variants of the verb premise are premises (not that premises has a different meaning as a noun), premised and premising.
Premises (noun) refers to a house, residence or a building with its grounds and appurtenances; a piece of real estate, buildings and its adjunctsconsidered as a single entity or place. Premises means the area surrounding a house, an apartment, a building, a campus.
On the premises means in the building, and concerning the structure on a piece of land; and on the premises comes from medieval Latin praemissa (proposito) – proposition set in front. Premiss means, in Logic, a previous statement from which another is inferred. In this sense, its alternative spelling is also premise (Logic, premise).
Vicinity is a noun, and its plural form is vicinities meaning proximity to something, being closer or near; in the neighborhood, nearby region, approximate size or amount. “Hours after the Central Statistics Office released the country’s growth data for the second quarter, the Finance Ministry lowered its overall GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal year. The Ministry said that it sees economic growth in the “vicinity of 7.5 per cent” in 2015-2016.” –Business Line
One has to keep one’s vicinities of ears, nose and eyes clean and tidy, or else they could get infected.
