¿Por qué es masculine?
Récifs is masculine. While the word does derive from Arabic "رصيف" (rasīf) meaning "reef" or "pavement," the explanation for its masculine gender is imprecise. In French, words ending in -f are typically masculine (e.g., neuf, chef, motif), which better accounts for récif's gender than the broader claim about consonant-final words. The Arabic borrowing into Old French is plausible given medieval Mediterranean trade, but the masculine gender is primarily maintained due to the -f ending pattern in French rather than Romance language conventions about consonant-final words.
