I only ever read it, never heard it but like who the heck ever hears that word except for an extremely small percentage of the population interested in curvature of parametric equations who somehow heard about it verbally

so technically I might be introducing this word to a huge number of people who *never* heard of it before, who will now think I pronounced it correctly, and will follow my pronunciation

so philosophically words are pronounced the way people pronounce them, and am I not helping normalize pronouncing it with a soft sc now? because it's totally better than the current paradigm of a hard sc, like what do you mean "oskulation", what is this, russian? smh

Latin, I believe. It's an old-timey synonym for "kiss" in Portuguese, which we only use to sound comically formal.
