前
提
About
The word "前提" is formed by combining the character "前", meaning "front" or "before", with "提", meaning "to lift" or "to raise". The compound literally suggests "lifting before" or "setting forth in advance", which metaphorically conveys the idea of a condition or fact that must be established prior to something else, hence yielding the meaning of "premise" or "prerequisite".
