Another term for the neutral wire is "ground." The
neutral(ground) is bonded to the green wire at the box. The
green wire in older stuff (maybe still) is called the
"grounding" wire.


The National Electrical Code uses the term "grounded conductor" (not
"ground") for the neutral, and "grounding conductor" for the green or bare
safety ground wire.
