For any electricity supply there has to be a pair of wires to carry the electric current. One of the wires is connected to earth at the transformer where the power comes from. That one is called the neutral. They can't both be grounded so only one of them is, and that prevents a buildup of static electricity.

Electricity is delivered to homes through transformers. The center of the transformer output winding is connected to ground. This center tap is then connected to the home power panel as the neutral lead. The voltage between the grounded neutral and either of the "hot" legs is half the voltage between the legs. In the US and Canada, the full voltage between the legs is 240V and between either leg and neutral is 120V.
