Camel roamed dry ground (9)
I believe the answer is:
dromedary
'camel' is the definition.
(I know that dromedary is a type of camel)
'roamed dry ground' is the wordplay.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'roamed'+'dry'='roameddry'
'roameddry' with letters rearranged gives 'DROMEDARY'.
(Other definitions for dromedary that I've seen before include "One-humped camel bred for riding" , "desert transport" , "Type of camel" , "Arab racer" , "Desert traveller" .)
