eggplant
It is USUALLY pronounced as an s, but not always. There's the -cious words, where it has the sound 'sh': delicious
precious
specious
meretricious
etc.
(not to mention 'licorice')Similarly, there the 'sh' sound for -cial words like facial and special.
Also there are words that have been adopted from other languages but kept a trace of their original pronunciation: Celtic, for example.
There are some other pronuniciations for ce, such as cello (pronounced 'chello'), cembalo (chembalo, with a 'k' sound).
In the words foci and loci (acceptable plurals of focus and locus) the c is pronounced like a 'k'.
The letter 'c' also makes the 'k' sound in the word 'arcing.'
