Definition: Scilicet means "so that" in Latin, used to indicate that something should be done because it is desirable or necessary for other reasons. The word is derived from the verb "scilicis," which is often translated as "to be", "to do," or "to make." In the context of a sentence, "scilicet" is usually followed by a subject that expresses wish or intention. For example: 1. "I promise to return your book." 2. "It's only fair that I apologize for the delay." In each case, "scilicet" indicates that something should be done because it is desirable or necessary for other reasons. Please note that the word "scilicet" was used in Latin before the development of English grammar and did not have its modern meaning.
