Why is there an apostrophe in "o'clock"?

Question:-
Why is there an apostrophe in the word "o'clock"? —
Answer:
An apostrophe is used in o'clock because the word is a contraction of the phrase-
"of the clock." so o' clock 'means 'of the clock'. If you say 9 o'clock it means 9 is the particular time of a clock.
