Why is it masculine?
Clavier is masculine in French. The word derives from the Latin "clavis" (key, feminine), and evolved through Old French where the suffix "-ier" was commonly used to form masculine agent nouns and nouns denoting collections or sets of objects. The masculine gender became fixed as the word developed its modern meaning of "keyboard" or "set of keys." In Romance languages, noun gender assignment in derived words often followed the gender of the derivational suffix rather than the original root, which explains why this derivative shifted from the feminine gender of its Latin source.
