Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Arbre is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "arbor" (which was feminine), the gender shift to masculine in French is primarily due to the phonetic evolution of the word. The Latin feminine ending "-or" was not preserved in Old French, and "arbre" became associated with the masculine gender, possibly through analogy with other masculine nouns or through reanalysis during the phonetic reduction of Latin endings. However, this is better understood as a regular phonetic consequence rather than an exceptional shift.
