Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Alcool is masculine in French. While it does derive from Arabic "al-kuhl" (powdered antimony) via Medieval Latin "alcohol," the masculine gender is primarily attributable to the word's ending in -ol, which typically carries masculine gender in French (e.g., "alcool," "école" being an exception). The word's masculine gender follows the general pattern for -ol words rather than being specifically determined by its Arabic origin or the grammaticalization of the Arabic definite article.
