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

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

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

a couple of points:

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 word you are looking for is:

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

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

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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