daresay
The definitions of 'I dare say' in my dictinary are: 1. I venture to assert or affirm, as in I dare say my point of view will be heard. [c. 1300], 2 . Also, I daresay. I presume or assume to be likely, as in I daresay you'll be invited. This usage is more common in Britain than in America. [Mid-1700s]
Isn't 'venture to assert' the same as 'presume'? The fact that the dictionary gives two definitions suggests they are different in meaning, however I can't see why they are. Please explain it to me. Thanks.
