Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Destins is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "destinare" (to intend, appoint), the gender classification in French is better explained by the fact that French nouns ending in -in are typically masculine, and "destin" follows this productive pattern. The word entered French through Old French and maintained masculine gender consistent with similar -in ending nouns in the language.
