A room in which clocks are kept, displayed, or housed; may also refer to a room with a prominent clock.
Compound of 'clock' and 'room' (Old English 'rum'), referring to a dedicated space for clocks or a space defined by having a clock.
In some palaces and grand estates, the clockroom was a separate chamber where mechanical clocks were stored and serviced—it needed to be temperature-controlled and undisturbed because even tiny vibrations could throw off the precision mechanisms.
