Why is it masculine?

Architectes is masculine in French when referring to a male architect. However, French has evolved to use "architecte" as a common gender noun that can refer to architects of any gender, though traditionally it was treated as masculine. The word derives from Latin "architectus," which came from Greek "arkhitekton" (chief builder). While the etymology is correct, modern French usage treats "architecte" as invariable in gender, with gender typically indicated by article or adjective agreement rather than the noun itself changing form.
