There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
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.
Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
a couple of points:
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
The word you are looking for is:
What does it mean if someone asks if it’s pink?
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”
