Why is it masculine?
Amis is masculine because it derives from the Latin "amicus," which was grammatically masculine in Latin's three-gender system, and French retained this gender classification when the word evolved phonetically into "ami." This is a regular inheritance rather than an exception—most French nouns preserve the gender of their Latin ancestors.
