'earth's' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'circle lacks nothing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'circle' could be 'round' (synonyms) and 'round' is found in the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ground that I've seen before include "Soil - don't allow to fly - reason" , "Stop (a pilot) flying" , "foundation course?" , "Pulverised; land" , "Minced" .)
