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

The word you are looking for is:

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

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

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

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

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.

a couple of points:

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

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.
