It means it should be ground up. For instance, if it's 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves, and all you have is whole cloves, you need to grind them up in a mini-chopper or food processor. Or by hand if you want to do it the hard way.
BTW, if it does not say ground "what", then someone left that part out of the recipe!

Gound what cinnamon, nutmeg - its calling for 1/2 teaspoons of a seasoning of some sort - read you recipe and add 1/2 teaspoon of what it is calling for.

There has to be a word after "ground." (Some kind of spice.) Ground is the past tense of grind. For example, cinnamon can be purchased in either stick form, or ground. Pepper and cloves are other examples of spices that can be bought either whole or ground. Coffee and Cocoa are also ground.

You need to edit your question and add more information. What type of ice cream, what else is in it, look at your ingredients. is there an ingedient that isn't addressed in the instructions for combining? For instance, if the ingedients call for nutmeg, but you don't see it in the assembly instructions, then it's probably that "whatever" item.
Edit the question, you will get better guesses.

Sounds like a spice, what type of icecream are you making? I would suggest researching other similar recipes to see what ingredient yours is missing. http://foodtv.com

If it is vanilla, it is probably calling or "ground" vanilla beans as opposed to whole vanilla beans. If it is buttered pecan, it may be calling for ground pecans instead of whole ones. It just means a powdered (ground up) form of something.
