Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Sucre is masculine because it derives from Latin "saccharum" (borrowed from Greek "sakcharon"), which was masculine in gender. French retained this grammatical gender through normal phonetic evolution. The word traveled through Old French as a masculine noun and has remained so, following the typical pattern of Latin masculine nouns ending in -um that became French words ending in -e.
