four o'clock
Late afternoon time
Four o'clock is a time of day—either mid-afternoon or the dead of night.
It also names a flowering plant (genus *Mirabilis*) whose blooms open in late afternoon.
The phrase works as a direction: The enemy is at your four o'clock means 120 degrees to your right, as if you're standing at the center of a clock face.
