Best Answer

O'clock is a contraction. It is the shortened form meaning "of the clock".

(Just so you know, the mark after the o is an apostrophe, not a comma. A comma and an apostrophe look alike. However, a comma is placed lower than the apostrophe.

Example-

We can go, but not until noon. (A comma is after the word go.)

A comma is placed between words. An apostrophy is placed between letters. An apostrophy shows that letters have been omitted. A comma indicates a pause when reading.
