I don't know if you've seen it or not, but if there's a misspelling in a quote or excerpt that's used in another piece, editing practice is to put "sic" after it.
Example:
"They decided to take a chance and trust to lick [sic]"
There are very few places where "lick" would be correct.
So what does it mean? The simple definition is "thus", but the real long-worded meaning is "intentionally so written".
