Why is it masculine?
Balcon is masculine in French because it derives from Italian "balcone," which comes from Germanic roots (possibly Old High German "balko" meaning "beam"), and the word retained masculine gender through Romance language transmission. The masculine ending "-on" in French also reinforced this gender classification, as many French masculine nouns end in this suffix.
