Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Collègue is masculine because it derives from Latin "collega," which is actually a masculine noun in Latin. French retained this masculine gender assignment from its Latin source, despite the word's "-ègue" ending, which doesn't reliably indicate gender in modern French. This represents a historical gender assignment preserved from Latin that persists in French.
