A clockwork orange comes from an old London saying "queer as a clockwork orange". A clockwork orange is actually a wind up doll that is controlled by both god and the devil. Anthony Burgess uses this for his book to symbolize the government almost brainwashing Alex in order to control his bad behavior.

Clockwork Orange 

A object (or person in the case of the movie) which appears normal on the outside but is completely artificial on the inside.

In the case of the movie A Clockwork Orange, Alex appeared to be normal after his treatment but since he is incapable of chosing evil and is therefore forced to chose only good, he's humanity is in question.
