In French, this word functions as both an adjective and a noun, and when used as a noun meaning "adult," it can be either masculine or feminine depending on the person being referred to (un adulte = a male adult, une adulte = a female adult). The base form "adulte" itself is not inherently gendered as a standalone word but agrees with the noun it modifies.
