Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Artichauts is masculine. While the etymology tracing back through Italian "articiocco" to Arabic "al-khurshūf" is plausible, the explanation for why it is masculine in French is problematic. The word's masculinity is better explained by the French suffix "-aut" (from Latin "-uctus"), which typically confers masculine gender in French, rather than by gender inheritance from Italian. This applies a more reliable and productive French morphological rule rather than relying on Romance language gender transmission.
