Comment on How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?

Well, clocks are just mechanical sundials. Before clockwise, there was sunwise (or deosil), and clocks’ movements are based off of the movement of a shadow across a sundial.

Used to be sunwise and counter-sunwise.
