Why is it masculine?
Côtés is masculine because it derives from the Latin "costatus," a masculine adjective meaning "having ribs" or "sided." This masculine gender was preserved when the word evolved through Old French "costé" into Modern French "côté." In French, many nouns derived from Latin adjectives retain the gender of their Latin source, which explains why "côté" remains masculine.
