Explanation:
The rule. Here's the rule: When 'c' comes directly before the letters 'e', 'i' or 'y' we use the /s/ sound. in other cases we use a /k/ sound.
Why is C pronounced as S?
2 Answers. TLDR: Because Latin mostly first came to English through French, we picked up the French habit of pronouncing most Latin-derived words with ⟨ce⟩ and ⟨ci⟩ using /s/ or sometimes /ʃ/, but never /k/. We also got into the habit of not changing spellings once established.
