Hello,

here's what Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English says:

1. 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."

2. sic AmE informal to tell a dog to attack someone: He sicced his dog on me.

Sic is latin for thus, and it's used in a quote when the author wants you to know that they are aware of the error, but that is the way they found the quote.
