landed
Reached the ground
Landed describes having arrived at a destination, especially after flight: The plane landed safely.
It also means possessing land as property: landed gentry, landed wealth.
The landed aristocracy derived status from owning estates rather than earning wages.
In casual speech, landed can mean having secured something desirable: She landed a great job.
