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”

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

a couple of points:

The Labour Party wants to put the Winter fuel allowance and the £800,000 of gifts received by ministers behind us. Is this a real option for the people who will suffer as our new masters unapologeticly feast on freebies?

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

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

Do people have to be a pastor to baptize?

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 has remained the same into Modern Greek
