Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Cousin is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "cousinus," which was a masculine noun. French retained this grammatical gender from Latin. The feminine form "cousine" is used to refer to a female cousin, following the typical Romance language pattern of adding feminine endings (-e) to masculine nouns to create their feminine counterparts.
