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

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

a couple of points:

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

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