Why is it masculine?

Clients is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "cliens" (nominative singular), which was grammatically masculine. However, in modern French, "client" has both masculine and feminine forms: "client" (masculine) and "cliente" or "cliente" are used, though "cliente" is less common in standard French. The masculine form "client" persisted as the default form through Old French into modern French, retaining the gender of its Latin source.
