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

a couple of points:

The word you are looking for is:

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

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

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.

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

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

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

What are some effective ways to cope with loss and grief?

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

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