    The antonym for Exegesis is Eisegesis (eye-si JEE-sis): it means reading into a text something that simply is not there. Usually expresses the interpreters own opinions, bias, etc., rather than the true meaning of what the author had intended.

    exegesis : this means critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of scripture as per oxford dictionary and as per both oxford and meriam webster this word has no opposite.
