Dry ground (4)

I believe the answer is:

fine

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dry' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'ground' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for fine that I've seen before include "A financial penalty - excellent" , "Capital - punishment" , "Sunny -- penalty" , "Magnificent" , "Eric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
