Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Grands-pères is masculine because it's a compound noun where the head noun is "père" (father), which is masculine. In French, compound nouns typically take the gender of their head noun. "Père" derives from Latin "pater" and has been masculine in French since its origins. The masculine gender is grammatically assigned to the word form itself in French, not determined by the biological sex of the referent—this is why grammatical gender is distinct from natural gender. Female family relations like "mère" (from Latin "mater") are grammatically feminine by the same principle.
