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

a couple of points:

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Why do I sweat so much after applying moisture or sun screen on my face? I have normal skin.

The word you are looking for is:

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.

As an atheist don't you really feel fear for committing sins which are not violating national laws?

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

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

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

Why am I not attracted to masculine men? Why do I like more feminine attributes on a man?

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.
