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

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

a couple of points:

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

The word you are looking for is:

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

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

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.

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

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