'ground ends tundra' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'ground' are verbs, they are not in the same form of the verb.

'ground ends tundra' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates anagramming the letters ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'ends'+'tundra'='endstundra'
'endstundra' anagrammed gives 'UNDERSTAND'.
