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

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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”

a couple of points:

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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 you are looking for is:

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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