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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The word you are looking for is:

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

A rare shark is seeking refuge in Miami's Biscayne Bay. Here's why scientists just spent 8 years tracking it - BBC Wildlife Magazine

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

Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?

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”

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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