A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
The word you are looking for is:
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
How do we write and pronounce "it's my pleasure" in Italian?
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

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

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.
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
