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

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

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

The word you are looking for is:

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

How should one respond to compliments such as "You are so special" and "I'm lucky to have met you" from a guy?

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

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.

Were Dalits prohibited from drinking water from wells in ancient times? Is there any evidence to support this claim?

a couple of points:

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