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

a couple of points:

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

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

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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

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.

I have a black elbow sleeve leotard that I wear with sheer pantyhose. Should I keep my pants off and show my legs?

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

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”

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

αλὴθεια / Alithea.
