| Veterinary Dictionary: sic |
[L.] thus; a parenthetical insertion in text to call attention to something anomalous which exactly reproduces the original.
| Wikipedia: Sic |
Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "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.[1]
It had a long vowel in Latin (sīc), meaning that it was pronounced like the English word "seek" (IPA /'sik/); however, it is normally anglicised to /'sɪk/ (like the English word "sick").
The word sic may be used to show that an uncommon or archaic usage is reported faithfully: for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution:
It is most often used, though, to highlight an error, sometimes for the purpose of ridicule, as in this example from The Times:
If text containing a quotation is itself quoted in a third text, it may not be possible for a reader to tell whether any "[sic]" in the inner quotation was added by the writer of the second text or the writer of the third text, or whether the anomaly highlighted was introduced by the first writer or the second. One way to show the source is to add "(bracketed material in original)" or a similar parenthetical reference at the end of the quotation.
