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

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.

What are some possible reasons for an unfaithful spouse to not confess their affair to their partner and instead end it without telling them?

The word you are looking for is:

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

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

a couple of points:

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
