Premises are statements that directly support the conclusion.

Many arguments are in the IF / THEN format.
If (your premise) then (your conclusion)

Starting point is the premise. Conclusion is the end.

The premises (usually plural) are what you start with. You know them ahead of time, or you are assuming them for the purposes of the argument. The conclusion is the end result you can deduce.

The premise is the basis of the dispute almost like a legal brief. The conclusion is the resolution of the dispute.
