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

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

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

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.

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