Sic
is a Latin word, originally sicut meaning thus,
so, just as that. In writing, it is placed
within square brackets and usually italicized — [sic] —
to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling,
phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding
quoted material
has been reproduced
verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription
error. The word sic may be used either to show that an uncommon
or archaic usage is reported faithfully or to highlight an
error, often for the purpose
of ridicule or irony.
