Why is it masculine?
Compte is masculine because it derives from Latin "computus" (a masculine noun meaning "reckoning" or "calculation"), which preserved its masculine gender through Old French into modern French. The Latin root itself likely comes from "computare" (to count), and masculine nouns ending in -us naturally became masculine -e nouns in French.
