Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Antipasto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ante" (before) + "pastus" (food/meal). While the etymology is correct, the gender explanation is problematic. Latin "pastus" is a masculine noun (not neuter), and Italian retained this masculine gender directly. The word literally means "before the meal" and maintained masculine gender through regular Latin-to-Italian gender preservation, not through the neuter-to-masculine shift described.
