Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Objets is masculine because it derives from the Latin "obiectum" (neuter noun). When Romance languages lost the neuter gender system, neuter nouns were typically reassigned to either masculine or feminine categories. In Old French, "obiectum" became "objet" and was treated as masculine, likely influenced by phonetic patterns and analogy with other masculine nouns. While the rule mentions the "-et" ending, this is misleading—"objet" does not have a diminutive suffix; rather, it reflects the regular phonetic evolution of Latin "obiectum" in French phonology.
