'''Premises''' are land and [[building]]s together considered as a [[property]]. This usage arose from [[Real property|property]] owners finding the word in their [[title deed]]s, where it originally correctly meant "the aforementioned; what this document is about", from [[Latin]] ''prae-missus'' = "placed before".{{cn|date=November 2019}}

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".
