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

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

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

The word you are looking for is:

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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

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.

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

a couple of points:

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