Sceptic, non-idealist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cynic

(Other definitions for cynic that I've seen before include "One dismissive of human motives" , "one with little faith in human nature" , "Fault-finder" , "Scoffer" , "One who thinks people are motivated by self-interest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
