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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

Why is Laura Loomer considered a controversial figure within the conservative media ecosystem?

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 you are looking for is:

Ananda Lewis chose 'natural' cancer care over conventional treatment. Many others do too -- and it's risky - ABC News

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

a couple of points:

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

Measles 'exposure event' confirmed in Great Falls - KRTV

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

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.
