Comportement is masculine because it derives from the Latin "comportamentum," a noun formation from "comportare" (to carry or bear together). The "-ment" suffix in French consistently produces masculine nouns. Latin "-mentum" nouns were grammatically neuter, but when Romance languages evolved, these nouns were reanalyzed and treated as masculine in French, establishing the pattern that all French "-ment" nouns are masculine.
