Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Adulto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "adultus," the past participle of "adolescere" (to grow up). In Latin, adjectives and past participles used as adjectives followed specific gender patterns based on their declension class. "Adultus" belonged to the first and second declension pattern, where the masculine singular nominative form ended in "-us." Italian retained this masculine gender from Latin, where masculine nouns and adjectives in the nominative singular typically ended in "-us," which evolved into "-o" in Italian.
