Definitions

  1. A large frame or platform used to support equipment, signs, or cranes.

Word origin

From earlier gauntree, possibly from dialectal gaun (“gallon”) + tree, perhaps as a reinterpretation of Middle English *gaunter, from Old Northern French gantier, from Late Latin cantarium, from Latin canterius (“trellis, sort of frame”).

Used in a sentence

  • In the tomographic images of the 30-day-old cheeses, the gantry had to be removed with image processing techniques: first, the binarised image (grey level larger than 10⁴) was eroded with a disk of three pixels.
