The definition of grounded is someone or something stable, sincere, practical or firmly established, or an aircraft or pilot that is being kept from flying. 1  An example of grounded is someone who reacts calmly in a crisis. 2  An example of grounded is a shoe repair shop in business for twenty five years.
Being alert doesn't necessarily mean that you know or understand what's going on around you, or where you are, or what time it is, or even who you are. Knowing all of those things is described as being 'orientatedâ (or âorientedâ, if you work in the U.S. âOrientatedâ is a more British/Canadian usage).
