11 o'clock means 11 of the clock. In some quarters people tell the time using the sun, moon and many more. Therefore this is to specify that the time mentioned is according to the clock. So it is 11 of the clock.

I think it means according to,or around the clock.11 o`clock is problably shorthand for eleven hours around the clock,since midnight or since noon,starting at one of the twelves(either 12 am or 12 pm.

It's an abbreviated way of saying "of the clock". It is used on names too. For example, some one who has a name like Michael O'Brien has an old Irish name meaning "Michael of the Brien clan".
