There are many synonyms I am unfamiliar with also, but I`ve heard of
antiresonance and used the word. My "Dictionary of Electronics" says:
"Antiresonance - A type of resonance in which a system offers maximum
impedance at its resonant frequency."

An antiresonant circuit is defined:
"Antiresonant circuit - A parallel-resonant circuit offering maximum
impedance to the series passage of the resonant frequenccy."

A parallel-tuned resonant circuit fits the dictionary definition. It`s a
synonym for antiresonant circuit.

When speaking of quartz crystals, antiresonant is a commonly used
term.
