Hi,

I would say that this word means.... (1)

When I say (1), that means I am not sure about the meaning of this word or I know clearly its meaning but would here expresses my politeness?

Hi, It can have either meaning. It depends on the context. Sometimes the listener may not even be sure which meaning is intended, and sometimes the listener may not need to be sure.
