Since the term "aphorism" was first used by Hippocrates to mean a short pithy proposition relating to health and disease, the term "old wives' tale" seems an appropriate antonym, since it is a concise false statement often relating to medicine. Other terms that could serve as antonyms of the word "aphorism" in a more general sense are "urban legend" or "myth."
