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”

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

a couple of points:

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

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.

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

Are miracles real or do they just have natural explanations?

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