Sic in Latin:
Sic is from Latin. In that language, it meant "so" or "thus."
Sic in English:
In written English, sic is inserted in quoted passages to signify
that a word is being quoted exactly as found, even if it is spelled
incorrectly or a grammatical error or an archaic usage.
Sic in Brackets:
The convention style in using sic is to put it in square brackets,
like so: [sic]. Less commonly, the word is put into standard
parentheses, like so: (sic).
