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

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

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

Atheists who have read the Bible and think that contains immoral things, why do you assume that?

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

a couple of points:

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

How is cultural invasion being carried out by Bollywood?

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Family scapegoats with years of healing: what events or thoughts precipitated your full acceptance of your family's narcissistic dynamic? Can you share your inner thoughts as you reached it? How do we know when we have reached full acceptance?

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