What is a one-word synonym for "a piece of wisdom" or "rule of thumb"?

English Language & Usage Asked by user378171 on December 3, 2020

I’m looking to describe something less formalized–i.e., with a lower collocation–than "aphorism", "maxim" or "adage" would imply. "Dictum" is the closest I can come up with but it’s still too dogmatic.

In short, an idea, not an expression.
