Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Dangers is masculine in French. While the word does derive from Old French "dangier," the etymological connection to Latin "dominium" is incorrect. The word actually comes from Old French "dangier" (meaning power, authority, or jurisdiction), which itself derives from a Vulgar Latin root related to "dominium" through the concept of lordly power. The masculine gender was inherited from Old French and has been maintained in modern French. The semantic evolution from "power/authority" to "danger/peril" occurred over time, but the masculine gender persisted.
