"Sic" is a small Latin word used in writing, placed in square brackets like [sic] right after copying someone else's mistake in spelling or grammar. It tells the reader, "yes, this looks wrong, but that's really what the original said - I didn't make a typing error copying it." Separately, "sic" is also an old command given to a dog, telling it to attack - "sic 'em!"
(標於引文錯誤處) 原文如此；(命令狗攻擊) 咬他！
組成From Latin "sic" (thus, so).
