The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

What does the Bible say about the Antichrist? How will we know when he arrives on the scene?
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
