Pessimist, one who believes the worst (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cynic

(Other definitions for cynic that I've seen before include "Person who sneers at others, a sceptic" , "One thinking the worst" , "One who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing" , "One who questions the worth of anything" , "Ancient philosopher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
