The word you are looking for is:
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
Does the Lil Wayne song ‘Lollipop’ refers to a Lollipop sweet or a metaphor?
a couple of points:
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
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.
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
