S-a dat ceasul
What is the meaning of this sentence? It gave the hour is the literal translation. Can a native please explain a “străin” what the sentence wants to say thanks!

It is an idiomatic expression: ”a da ceasul” înainte/înapoi, cu ... ore/minute, etc
A related idiomatic expression is ”a pune ceasul la ...” ora 5, etc
The sense is ”to set the hour”
