Why do we say "four o'clock"? What does the "o" mean? The "o" is a contraction or abbreviation of "four of the clock". "O" 'clock is an abbreviation of "of the" clock.

In times past clocks were relatively rare. Most people told time by some reference to the position of the sun or moon.

The times provided by these two bodies do not always concur with those provided by a clock. Hence there was a need to differentiate between the time provided "of the clock" (o'clock) and the time used by the vast majority of people in a given locality.

Now that you know, SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
