Why is it masculine?
French "an" is not a word in French. The user likely meant "an" as an English word (meaning "year" in French would be "an" or "année"). However, "an" is masculine in French and means "year." It derives from Latin "annus" (masculine), which is the source of the masculine gender. The feminine form "année" comes from the Latin feminine form "annus" that developed feminine characteristics through the "-ée" ending in French, following standard Romance language patterns of preserving Latin grammatical gender.
