Windmills were commonly used to grind grain.

Is that the pun?

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago

The pun is that 'ground' can be a noun meaning 'soil, earth' as in playground or underground, or the past simple and past participle of 'grind' as in ground coffee or ground meat.

A pun is a play on words, a portmanteau is also a play on words.

This is both a pun AND a play on words.
