Is the word sick a verb?

Yes, "sick" can be a verb.

* "He sicked the ball over the fence." (This usage is more informal and refers to throwing something forcefully.)

However, "sick" is more commonly used as an adjective meaning ill or feeling unwell.

It's important to be aware of the context to understand if "sick" is being used as a verb or an adjective.
