a couple of points:
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
Why do most Indian women cuckold or cheat on their husbands?
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
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.
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
