Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Visa is masculine in French (un visa). While the word does derive from Latin, the etymology explanation is problematic. "Visa" comes from the Latin past participle "visa" (feminine plural of "visus"), used in the phrase "visa" meaning "things seen" or "examined." However, in French, "visa" was adopted as a masculine singular noun, likely due to the way it was integrated into French morphology and usage patterns rather than through direct preservation of Latin gender. The word refers to an official mark or endorsement on a document.
