Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Ménages is masculine. It derives from Old French "ménage" (from "mesnage"), which comes from Latin "mansionaticum" (related to "mansio," meaning dwelling or house). While the etymology is correct, the explanation is unnecessarily complex. The word is simply masculine because it entered French as a masculine noun, following the typical pattern where French nouns ending in "-age" are masculine, regardless of their Latin neuter origins—this is not an exception but rather the standard development of Latin "-aticum" nouns in French.
