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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

a couple of points:

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

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

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 word you are looking for is:

How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

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.
