"Pre" (not per) does mean before and "ad" does mean to in this instance, but the time dependence you infer is an etymological fallacy. A presumption is made before the proper evidence or authority is manifest. Both a presumption and an assumption may be made at the same time and persist for the same time. As the OP's driving example shows. BTW, I am not the downvoter. | |
