Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Galho (twig/branch) is masculine because it descends from Latin "gallus" (rooster), which was also masculine. However, the etymological connection between "gallus" and "galho" is uncertain and likely incorrect. A more plausible etymology traces "galho" to Latin "gallus" through a semantic evolution in Vulgar Latin, or possibly to a different Latin root entirely. The word maintains masculine gender due to its Latin masculine origin, though the specific semantic pathway from "rooster" to "branch" is not well-documented.
