The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
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.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
