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”.

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

The word you are looking for is:

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

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

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

a couple of points:

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