aphoristic

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

'capable of creating proverbs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unusually rich patois' is the wordplay.
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'rich'+'patois'='richpatois'
'richpatois' with letters rearranged gives 'APHORISTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for aphoristic that I've seen is " Like a saw".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
