Refs: | daij have the first two senses, but I think there's a third, which I think daijs' example for its sense 2 is actually an example of: "2 あるものの、成立・存在の根本となる条件。「人命尊重が大前提だ」" in English, you can't really translate this as "respect for human life is an important condition". An important condition for what? Daijs specifies that this "成立・存在の根本となる条件" is specifically for "あるもの" so I don't think you can really leave that part out. Same thing with the usage here: https://www.facebook.com/ppkyoto/posts/937243033133944 picture from a sign in a temple garden reading: "苔もいきものです。大事にしましょう", with a caption by the person posting the photo: "これが大前提です。" Another example: https://twitter.com/into__the_void/status/1065167741756297217 "落書きはいけません…という大前提はあったとしても、描かれた場所と内容によっては特別な意味を持ってしまうものもある。" The meaning is an even more generalized version of sense 2, which in itself is probably a more generalized version of sense 3. |

Comments: | In terms of commonality, sense 1 should probably come last. |
