Why is it masculine?
Boulanger is masculine because it is an agent noun formed with the suffix "-er" (or "-ier") from "boulange" (the act of making bread). In French, agent nouns denoting occupations are typically masculine in their base form, with the feminine form "boulangère" derived by adding the feminine suffix "-e". The word comes from Old French "boulange," related to "boule" (ball/loaf of bread), ultimately from Latin "bolus." French agent nouns with the suffix "-er/-ier" consistently take masculine gender as their default form.
