Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Exploit is masculine in French. While the word does derive from Latin "explicitus" (past participle of "explicare," meaning to unfold or set forth), the gender assignment is better explained by the fact that French nouns ending in -it are typically masculine. The word evolved from Old French "exploit" and retained masculine gender through this evolution. However, it should be noted that the direct Latin etymological pathway to modern French -it endings is not as straightforward as the rule suggests, as the word passed through various Romance language forms.
