Coming out with aphorisms (6)

I believe the answer is:

gnomic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'coming out with aphorisms' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'coming out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'coming' is an anagram of 'GNOMIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gnomic that I've seen before include "Sententious, aphoristic" , "Proverbial" , "phrased in pithy way" , "Enigmatic; ambiguous" , "Coming out using aphorisms or maxims" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
