A ground return is a signal return which is connected to ground.
In places where a piece of equipment has a conductor leading from it to an externakl device (e.g. a switch) to perform some function (e.g. bootstrapping a machine), in order to form a circuit, a second conductor is needed. It is common to connect this to ground; this is a ground return.
