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

The word you are looking for is:

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

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

What are some common examples of human hypocrisy?

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

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

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

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”

a couple of points:

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
