Pourquoi est-ce masculin ?
Point is masculine in French. It derives from Latin "punctum" (neuter), but underwent a gender shift to masculine during the evolution from Latin to French. While the etymology from Latin neuter "punctum" is correct, the explanation about "-nt" endings is misleading—French nouns ending in "-nt" have mixed genders, and "point" is masculine primarily due to analogical leveling and gender reassignment patterns that occurred during Romance language development rather than from a systematic "-ntus" ending pattern.
