Why is it masculine?
Aciers (steel) is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "acies" (sharp edge, battle line), the gender assignment in French is not primarily due to the "-ier" suffix influencing agent nouns. Rather, "acier" is masculine because it evolved from the Latin neuter noun "aciarium" (steel/sharpened metal) through Old French, and neuter Latin nouns typically became masculine in Romance languages. The "-ier" suffix association with masculine agent nouns is coincidental to this word's gender history.
