Definition and Explanation:

"Presume" means to suppose something is the case based on probability, without proof or certain knowledge. It involves making an assumption or educated guess, often based on reasonable evidence or likelihood, but without definite certainty.

Derived from the Latin "praesumere," meaning "to take for granted, assume," "presume" entered English in the late Middle Ages. It combines "prae-" (before) with "sumere" (to take). The word originally meant to take upon oneself with authority, and over time, it came to mean forming an opinion without definite evidence.
