Help -- suddenly no water pressure in our condo unit *SOLVED* Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by xboxist, Aug 2, 2009.
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.
From what I understood there, to be grounded had the primary meaning of being confined to one's room or house, later extended to being banned from something (TV, computer, mobile/cellular, whatever).
