Morphology

presumer = presume (semi-transparent) = presume + er

The word is transparently built from presume + -er, but the 'take liberties / act arrogantly' sense is a specialized extension rather than the most straightforward agentive meaning.

Etymology

Presumer comes from the verb presume, which means 'to take for granted' or 'to take upon yourself'. So a presumer is someone who takes actions or rights without asking, which makes them seem arrogant.
