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.

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

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

How can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?

a couple of points:

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

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

The word you are looking for is:

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

What has been your best sexual experience?

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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