In the old days, people didn't say ‘six o'clock' or ‘ten o'clock'. When they wanted to
indicate the time, they said ‘six of the clock' and ‘ten of the clock'. The expression ‘of the clock'
was used to mean ‘according to the clock'. With the passage of time, the definite article ‘the' was
dropped; later ‘of' was reduced to ‘o'. So, when you say ‘o'clock', what you are actually saying is
‘of clock'.
