I assume that the question really is asking the meaning of the word "sic" in textual notes. "Sic" is the Latin word for "thus" and means that an error in the quotation is in the original work being quoted. This is so that the reader will not ascribe it to a typographical or editorial error on the part of the person doing the quoting. For example, I might say that I have just answered the question "What does the abbreviation sig [sic] mean in reference to textual notes to Shakespeare plays?" That means that the error ("sig" for "sic") was in the question in the first place.
