The word you are looking for is:

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
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 Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
