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

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 root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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

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