cínico
/ˈθiniko/ · B2 · adj
cynical, cynic
🐕 cínico = from Greek kynikos, 'dog-like'; Cynics lived like dogs
Spanish cínico comes from Greek kynikos, meaning dog-like. The ancient Cynic philosophers scorned social norms and comforts, so the name stuck. Today it means a person who shamelessly doubts others' sincerity, or acts without shame.
