What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 18.06.2025 01:23
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
What is the hidden meaning behind 'Skibidi Ohio', and why is it trending?
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.
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
a couple of points:
The word you are looking for is:
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
