The noun: the quality, or the act, of being presumptuous — of doing something you have no right to do, in a way that seems rude because you have taken too much for granted. You will see it more in writing than in speech; in talk, people usually keep the adjective (“that was presumptuous”) rather than this longer noun. It names a manner problem, not a guess about what is true.
冒昧;放肆;自以為是
組成From presumptuous + -ness (Old English -nes: turns an adjective into a noun, “the quality of being that”).
