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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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

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

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

The word you are looking for is:

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

a couple of points:

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

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.

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

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