Infrastructure: 1887, from French infrastructure (1875); (n.). The installations that form the basis for any operation or system. Originally in a military sense.

Gargantuan: "enormous," 1590s, from Gargantua, name of the voracious giant in Rabelais' novels, supposedly from Spanish/Portuguese garganta "gullet, throat," which is from the same imitative root as gargle (v.)
