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

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”

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

Why do some women alter their faces by so-called cosmetic surgeries (on their eyes, cheeks, lips, chin, jaw) that making them look like Donald Duck or puffy aliens, while for most men these unnatural facial changes are ridiculous or even disgusting?

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.

a couple of points:

Why did Amazon initially deny leave of absence to Alexis Scott-Windham, the Amazon worker who survived the New Orleans terrorist attack?

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Kroger faces massive worker walkout, closed stores - TheStreet

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

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