The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
Why can’t conservatives accept the fact that they are stupid?
The word you are looking for is:
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
a couple of points:
Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?
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 is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
What are the reasons why am I so tired before my period?
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”.
