Taking the liberty of declaring something about a situation, item, or someone else that is not supported by fact.

Making an assumption means declaring something about a situation, item, or person without evidence. This is drawing a conclusion without facts to back it up, which can lead to unfair judgments and miscommunication. For example, assuming a coworker is unreliable because they were late once ignores other explanations and jumps to a conclusion without proof. Stereotypes are beliefs about groups of people, perception is how you interpret what you observe, and collusion is secretly cooperating to deceive; none of these precisely capture the act of making an unsupported claim about a specific situation or person. The described statement fits an assumption because it declares something as true without factual backing.
