Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Effort is masculine in French. It derives from Latin "effortus" (past participle of "efforti" or related to "ex-" and "fortis"), and follows the pattern of Latin masculine nouns ending in -us that became French nouns ending in -ort. French nouns ending in -ort are typically masculine, and this gender was preserved through the evolution from Latin to Old French to Modern French.
