The adverb sic—meaning "intentionally so written"—first appeared in English circa 1856.[2] It is derived from the Latin adverb sīc, which contains a long vowel and means "so", [note 3] "thus", "as such" or "in such a manner".[3] In English, sic is a homophone of sick /ˈsɪk/; its Latin ancestor is pronounced more like the English word seek [ˈsiːk].[4]
