Actually, it's a contraction of THREE words: "of the clock."

It stands for of the clock. Like Jack O'lantern means jack of the lantern.
I think the contraction o' should be used more often instead o' the word "of". Some examples would include:
Jesus O' Nazareth
The Wizard O' Oz
"Do you happen to have any Grey Poupon?" "But o'course!"
But any time you used the contraction o', you would have to talk in an Irish accent o'course!
