Latin for "thus it satnds."?

Question

the latin word for the phrase, "thus it stands". it's 3 letters long

Answer 1

"Thus it stands" would be "Sic stat." or "Ita stat."  If you want one three-letter word, it's probably "sic," which is used in scholarly writing (in brackets inside a quotation) to indicate that a mistake or a questionable fact was in the passage you're quoting--i. e., you know better, but that's what your source sid.

Answer 2

To weigh in with the others: There is no 3-letter Latin word for 'Thus it stands'.

There is Latin 'sic' - that means 'thus' and nothing more.

There is Latin 'stet' - that means 'Let it stand.' Editors use that term when reviewing drafts. Essentially, it means 'Go back to the original version and ignore the changes penciled in.' In other words, 'Let the original stand.'

There is Latin 'sic stat' - that does mean 'Thus it stands.'

I've seen this same question here two or three times. Not prying, but what's the source of the question? Whoever is asking is not familiar with Latin.

Answer 3

I would have said 'stet'...but if you're sure it's three letters long,then it's 'sic'.
