レシート is supposed to mean receipt. The adaptation of the word looks a bit odd to me. If it comes from English, why doest it loses the "p"? Why it uses a "shii" sound instead of a "ce" (to me there are katakana characters which sounds more similar to "ce" than "シー"? May be it comes from another language different than English where the word is more similar to the sound レシート? How it is?

As a native English speaker I never pronounce the 'p' in receipt, nor have I heard it pronounced, so I would not expect to see it in a transliteration. As for レシート versus レツート I think the latter is more awkward to pronounce, and personally I think レシート sounds closer to the English anyway.

Derivation of レシート
Numerous dictionaries state that レシート is from English receipt. See, for instance, the Dajisen and Daijirin entries visible here at Kotobank (in Japanese), or here at Wiktionary (in English; full disclosure: I edited that entry. See the listed sources there for authoritatively edited materials.).
Why it is rendered this way in Japanese
The English term receipt is pronounced by all native speakers I personally know as something like [[ɹɪˈsiËÂt]] or [[ɹɛˈsiËÂt]]. For instance, the ⟨p⟩ in the spelling is not pronounced. Separately, the ⟨ce⟩ in the spelling combines with the ⟨i⟩ to be pronounced as //siËÂ//, not as //seËÂ// nor //ceËÂ// -- the same as in receive.
The Japanese katakana rendering is thus a close approximation of the English pronunciation, ignoring the oddities of the spelling.
For more about the English term, including the pronunciation and a description for where that unpronounced ⟨p⟩ came from, see the Wiktionary entry for receipt.

It probably also helps to know that while シ is romanised as "shi", it's not pronounced exactly like the English word "she", it's a softer sound (and Japanese doesn't have any real way of differentiating the sounds that are in the English words "she" and "sea").
