SIC - Thus; so. Used to indicate that a quoted passage, especially one containing an error or unconventional spelling, has been retained in its original form or written intentionally

"Sic" is Latin for "thus." since the 1880s, writers have used [sic] next to quotations that include errors.


Sic in square brackets is an editing term used with quotations or excerpts. It means “that’s really how it appears in the original.”

. sic Latin used after a word that you have copied in order to show that you know it was not spelled or used correctly: We had seen several signs that said "Orange's (sic) for sale."

****
It's not in my law dictionary, however, it is defined in a common one. From the LATIN (what isn't).
