Definition

A person who assumes something without proof or takes liberties in a way that may be seen as arrogant.

Example

He is often seen as a presumer, making decisions for others without consulting them first.

Conversation

I can't believe how arrogant he is; he's such a presumer in every conversation.

I know, right? He always acts like he knows everything.

Exactly! It’s frustrating to deal with someone who's such a presumer all the time.

Totally, it makes it hard to have a genuine discussion.

Root Explanation

Presumer → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "sumere" (meaning to take). The word "presumer" refers to someone who takes something for granted or assumes something beforehand.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'takes' ('sumere') something 'before' ('pre-') it is confirmed — that's why a presumer is someone who assumes something in advance.
