Pourquoi est-ce masculin ?
Chemins is masculine because it derives from the Latin "caminus," which was a masculine noun. French inherited this grammatical gender through the regular evolution of Vulgar Latin. However, the semantic shift from "furnace/forge" to "path/road" is not clearly documented, and the word may derive instead from or be influenced by the Latin "caminus" meaning "passage" or "way." The masculine gender persisted through regular inheritance from Latin.
