What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
