Why Do We Use 'O'Clock' When Telling Time? We say it every day, but so many people have no idea what that little 'O' stands for.

Why do we say “3 o’clock” instead of just “3”?
It turns out the “o’” comes from the phrase “of the clock,” used centuries ago to distinguish clock time from other ways of measuring time.
