I've never understood what [sic] actually means... I am ignorant

it means the one citing did not fix any errors in grammar or spelling. it is cited just as it was written or said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

The Latin adverb sic (pronounced [sɪk]; "thus", "just as"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")[1]
