Scilicet is an adverb that means namely or ‘specifically.’

Our word of the day combines two Latin words. There’s scire (SHEER ay) which means ‘to know’ and ‘licet’ (LEECH et) for ‘it is permitted.’ Together they get a word that basically means ‘specifically’ or ‘namely.’ For example: My son’s problem was that he was hanging out with the wrong crowd, scilicet those guys Corey and Hank. Those are the guys specifically that got him into all kind of wild behavior like riding his bike without training wheels.
