Soldier on grid gets some text (9)

I believe the answer is:

paragraph

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some text' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'soldier on grid' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'para' (short for paratrooper).
'on grid' becomes 'graph' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'para'+'graph'='PARAGRAPH'

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paragraph that I've seen before include "section of text" , "A group of connected sentences" , "Division of a text" , "Chunk of text" , "It's indicated with a new line and indentation, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
