Spuddaccino, 10 months ago “Sunwise”, and for the exact same reason. Clocks go clockwise because their predecessors did. What were their predecessors? Sundials. How does the shadow go around a sundial? Well, sunwise, of course. Counterclockwise, as said in another comment, was “widdershins”, from a Middle Low German phrase meaning “against the way”.
