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

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.

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.
