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.

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

The word you are looking for is:

Apple Knows AI Isn’t What People Really Want, but It Can’t Say That - Gizmodo

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

a couple of points:

Macklemore’s Seattle home reportedly robbed with his 3 children inside - New York Post

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

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

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

Cal Raleigh hits 30th HR, but Mariners fall to Cubs amid high winds, heat - The Seattle Times

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