Subject: Re: Ground for Floor

There are many expressions that have worked their way into the language
which use the word ground. The meaning is closer to bottom, foundation,
or base, rather than outside dirt layer of earth. For example:
ground floor= walk-in level of a building, ground zero, proving ground,
playground, testing ground, high ground, low ground... These are a few
off the top of my head.
