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

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

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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 couple of points:

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

What are some things that normal people do that religious people call sins?

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

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

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