Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Faits is masculine because it derives from the Latin "factum" (neuter noun meaning "deed" or "thing done"). In Old French, many neuter Latin nouns shifted to the masculine gender during the evolution of Romance languages. However, "fait" is primarily used as a noun meaning "fact" or "deed" in modern French, though it is also the past participle of the verb "faire" (to do/make). The masculine gender reflects the historical gender shift from Latin neuter to French masculine.
