sic
Pronunciation: [sɪk]
Word
Context: "writing"
(adverb) it means to show that something is exactly as it was written, even if it looks wrong or doesn't make sense. When you see 'sic' in writing, it tells you the writer is not making a mistake; they want you to see it how it is.
Example
He wrote, 'I eated' [sic] my lunch quickly, which shows he knows the word isn't right but is sharing it as it was written.
Example
She didn't put 'sic' after the wrong word, so it looked like she made a mistake in her report.
Example
Why did you write 'he go' [sic] instead of 'he goes'?
