clockwise (KLOK-waiz) - adv., & adj., in the same direction as the hands on a clock.
A circlular motion that, when viewed face-on the circle, goes in the direction of top > right > bottom > left sides.
Thanks, WikiMedia!
Contrast with anticlockwise, counterclockwise, and widdershins. Surprisingly, this wasn't coined until the 1880s, though clocks (and this motion) existed for centuries before. The -wise suffix denotes in the way or manner of $stem.
