a couple of points:
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
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.

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
