Etymology

Gerund form of 'clock' (to time) with plural suffix '-s,' creating a noun representing multiple instances of timing or measurement.

Kelly Says

In sprinting, the difference between hand-timed and electronic clockings can be 0.2-0.3 seconds—which is why world records from before 2005 are considered less reliable, as human timekeepers couldn't be as precise as the electronic systems that followed.
