Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Safrans is masculine because it derives from Arabic "za'farān," which entered Old French through trade routes, and the word retained masculine gender when adopted into French, likely influenced by similar -an endings in masculine nouns. The gender assignment was essentially arbitrary at the point of borrowing and became conventionalized rather than following a predictable grammatical rule.
