Why is it masculine?

Concert is masculine in French. While it does derive from Italian "concerto," the rule provided is misleading. French "concert" does not follow a "-ert" ending pattern from Italian "-o" words—rather, it comes directly from the Italian noun "concerto" through standard Romance language borrowing. The gender is best understood as a lexical convention: French adopted this word as masculine, likely influenced by the masculine gender of the Italian source word, but gender assignment in borrowed words is not strictly rule-based and must often be learned as part of vocabulary.
