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

The word you are looking for is:

a couple of points:

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

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Caitlyn Jenner’s Israel Pride Parade Visit Disrupted by Iran War Breakout - The Hollywood Reporter

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

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

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

What is your favorite cuckold experience?

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”
