Why is it masculine?
Bénévole is actually both masculine and feminine in modern French - it is an invariable adjective/noun that functions as both genders (un bénévole, une bénévole). While it derives from Latin "benevolus" (well-wishing), French does not maintain a strict masculine gender for this word in contemporary usage. The word functions as a gender-neutral professional/occupational term that agrees with the subject it describes rather than having an inherent fixed gender.
