What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 17.06.2025 18:45
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
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.
Why is there so much evil in the world?
The word you are looking for is:
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
Is anal sex allowed in Islam? It's not written anywhere in the Quran whether it's forbidden or not.
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
a couple of points:
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
Can you show pictures of your penis, big or small?
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.
