Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Ananas is masculine in French. The word derives from Tupi "nanas" via Portuguese "ananás". However, the gender assignment of this borrowed word does not follow a clear, predictable rule. The explanation that the "-as" ending influenced masculine gender assignment is problematic because many French words ending in "-as" are feminine (e.g., "atlas" is masculine, but "classe" is feminine, and the "-as" ending is not a reliable gender marker in French). The masculine gender of "ananas" appears to be an arbitrary convention established when the word was borrowed into French, rather than being derivable from morphological patterns.
