Diogenes, for one (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cynic

'diogenes for one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cynic that I've seen before include "Misanthrope" , "Sort of Greek philosopher" , "Person who sneers at others, a sceptic" , "One who believes the worst of people" , "Sceptic; philosopher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
