Why is it masculine?

Avocats is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "advocatus" (masculine), meaning "one called to help or defend," which retained its grammatical gender through Old French. The word originally referred to legal advocates in medieval courts, and this masculine form persisted even after the profession became open to women, though "avocate" is now sometimes used for female lawyers.
