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

a couple of points:

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

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

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.

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

Is it possible for sociopaths to feel genuine remorse for their actions or thoughts towards others, even if they are skilled at hiding it from others?

The word you are looking for is:

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

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