a couple of points:
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
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”
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

The word you are looking for is:
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?
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 has remained the same into Modern Greek
