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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

What is the dirtiest thing you have allowed your husband to do?

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

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

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

Is it true that Jehovah's witnesses once thought the world would end in 1975?

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.

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

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