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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
I'm British and I hate my glasses. Are prescription glasses better in New York City?
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
The word you are looking for is:
All flights grounded at Newark Airport due to staffing issues - FOX 5 New York
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
a couple of points:
What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?
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 root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
