sic is a Latin word meaning
“thus”, “so”, “as such”, “in such a manner”.
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.1
