To answer this question,we must go back to the Middle Ages.But first, let it be noted thatpremises comes from the past participle praemissa, which is both a feminine singular and a neuter plural form of the Latin verbpraemittere, "to send in advance, utter by way of preface, place in front, prefix.” In Medieval Latin the feminine formpraemissa was used as a term in logic, for which we still use the termpremise descended from the Medieval Latin word (first recorded in a work composed before 1380).Medieval Latinpraemissa in the plural meant "things mentioned before" and was used in legal documents, almost always in the plural,a use that was followed in Old French and Middle English, both of which borrowed the word from Latin.A more specific legal sense in Middle English,"that property, collectively, which is specified in the beginning of a legal document and which is conveyed, as by grant,”was also always in the plural in Middle English and later Modern English.And so it remained when this sense was extended to mean "a house or building with its grounds or appurtenances,”a usage first recorded before 1730.为什么我们把单独的一幢建筑称为the premises ？ 为了回答这个问题，我们必须回到中世纪。但首先必须注意的是premises 是从过去式 praemissa 而来的， 这是意思为“预先发送,以前言的方式说出，放在前边，前缀”的拉丁动词praemittere 的阴性单数形式及中性复数形式。 在中世纪拉丁语中，praemissa 作为阴性形式被用作逻辑状语， 因此我们仍然使用这个来源于中世纪拉丁语的术语premise （第一次记载于1380年前编纂的作品中）。中世纪拉丁语praemissa 的复数形式意为“前面提到的事物”， 用于法律文件并总是以复数形式出现，古法语和中古英语中都从拉丁语中借用了这个词及其用法。中古英语中有一种更特殊的法律方面的意义，“法律文件开头指明并根据转让的财产，如通过赠送”,在中世纪英语和后来的现代英语中也是以复数形式使用。因此当它的意思被扩展为“连同其土地及设施一所房子或一幢建筑”时仍保留这一用法，该用法最初记载于1730年前。〔crawlspace〕A low or narrow space, such as one beneath the upper or lower story of a building, that gives workers access to plumbing or wiring equipment.爬行空隙：一幢楼最高层或最底层下面可使工人进入维修管道或电线设备的矮而窄的空间〔erect〕erect a skyscraper.建造一幢摩天大厦〔mudroom〕A small room or entryway in a house where wet or muddy footwear and clothing can be removed.沾泥物品室：一幢房子中用来脱去湿的或带泥的套鞋或衣服的小房间或通道〔cant〕An outer corner, as of a building.倾斜面：倾斜面，如一幢建筑的倾斜面〔superintendent〕A janitor or custodian in a building, especially in an apartment house.看门人：在一幢房子里，特别是在一座公寓里，照管楼房的工友或管理员〔capitol〕Capitol The building in Washington, D.C., where the Congress of the United States meets.See Usage Note at capital 1 Capitol 美国国会大厦，国会山庄：华盛顿特区的一幢建筑，美国国会在此举行会议 参见 capital1〔wall〕An upright structure of masonry, wood, plaster, or other building material serving to enclose, divide, or protect an area, especially a vertical construction forming an inner partition or exterior siding of a building.墙：以石头、木头、灰浆或其他建筑材料砌成的重直结构，用来圈住、划分或保护某一区域，尤指组成一幢房屋的内部隔间或外部标界的垂直建筑〔enclose〕"Every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret"(Charles Dickens)“那些黑压压聚集成群的房子每一幢都藏着它各自的秘密”(查尔斯·狄更斯)〔building〕In time their modest house was superseded by an elegant structure of glass and steel.最终，他们简朴的房屋被一幢玻璃和钢筋的豪华建筑所代替。〔triplex〕We live in a triplex.我们住在一幢三层楼的公寓里〔cloister〕To furnish (a building) with a cloister.设回廊于：用回廊装饰（一幢建筑）〔plumbing〕The pipes, fixtures, and other apparatus of a water, gas, or sewage system in a building.管道工程，卫生设备：一幢建筑物中供水、供气或排污系统中的管子、装置和其它装置〔Gardner〕American collector and patron of the arts.
