kloktwist

Kloktwist is a Dutch word that translates to "clockwise" in English. It refers to the direction in which the hands of a clock move, which is from the top to the right, then down, and finally to the left. This direction is counterclockwise when viewed from above, as the clock's face is typically oriented horizontally. The term is often used in contexts where the direction of rotation or movement is important, such as in engineering, navigation, or sports. For example, in sailing, a "kloktwist" turn refers to a maneuver where the boat turns to the right, following the clockwise direction. The opposite of kloktwist is tegenkloktwist, which means "counterclockwise" or "anticlockwise."
