Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Kilo is masculine in French because it's a shortened form of "kilogramme," which derives from Greek "kilo-" (thousand) combined with French "gramme" (from Latin "gramma"), and the full word "kilogramme" is masculine, making its abbreviation masculine as well. This follows the pattern where metric unit abbreviations retain the gender of their parent word.
