Why is it masculine?

Changement is masculine because it derives from the Old French verb "changer" combined with the masculine suffix "-ment" (from Latin "-mentum"), which consistently produces masculine nouns in French regardless of the gender of the root verb. The Latin "-mentum" suffix itself was inherently masculine, and this gender was preserved through Old French into Modern French.
