What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 19.06.2025 01:55
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.
a couple of points:
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

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