I believe the answer is:

sic

(Other definitions for sic that I've seen before include "the reading is correct" , "Written exactly thus" , "Word to call attention to a quoted mistake" , "Printing term to denote accuracy though it appears otherwise" , "Quoted exactly as in the original; so" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
