Usage notes

is often used for "o'clock", following the numbered hour: e.g. "three o'clock" is 三點. 點鐘 would be used in the expression "1 o'clock" or "2 o'clock", in order to avoid confusion between 一點 (meaning: "a bit") and 一點 (meaning: "1 o'clock"). When spoken out, 一點 (meaning: "1 o'clock") is usually pronounced yī diǎn, without the tone sandhi, while 一點 (meaning: "a bit") follows the sandhi rule.

When followed by the minutes, is used instead of 點鐘 as in 十二三十. In formal expression (but not in everyday speech), is used to denote hours, eg. 十二三十.

Etymology 2

Fusion of 底物 (MC teiX mɨut̚), literally “what thing” (Guo, 2003).

Often related to (zam2) due to similar syllable structure.
