The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
a couple of points:
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

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”
