Earth reduced to dust? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ground

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'earth' is the first definition.
(I know that earth is a kind of ground)

'reduced to dust?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for ground that I've seen before include "Stop (a pilot) flying" , "foundation course?" , "reduced to dust" , "turned to dust" , "Earth; crushed to powder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
