Why is it masculine?
Carrefour is masculine because it derives from the Latin "quadrifurcus" (meaning "four-forked"), which became "carrefour" in Old French. The word's masculine gender reflects its Latin masculine origin. However, the modern French masculine gender is primarily associated with the "-our" ending rather than inherited directly from Latin; nouns ending in "-our" are typically masculine in modern French.
