Relating to or characteristic of Diogenes, the ancient Greek Cynic philosopher known for his unconventional lifestyle and radical rejection of social conventions.
From Diogenes, the Greek philosopher (412-323 BCE), with the English suffix '-ean' added to create an adjective describing his philosophy, ideas, or lifestyle.
Diogenean philosophy became so counter-cultural that when Diogenes lived in a barrel to mock wealth and social status, Alexander the Great himself visited and offered any reward—Diogenes replied 'Stand out of my sunlight,' showing that even emperors couldn't impress him.
