Why is it masculine?

Cas is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin nominative "casus," which was masculine in the second declension. French retained this masculine gender when the word evolved from Latin through Romance language development. The word ultimately comes from the Latin verb "cadere" (to fall), as "casus" originally meant "a falling" or "an occurrence."
