Why is it masculine?
Courants is masculine because it derives from the Latin present participle "currens" (running, flowing). In French, this word evolved from its Latin masculine form and retained masculine gender. While French no longer maintains Latin's three-gender system, masculine gender assignment in French often reflects historical gender inheritance from Latin roots, particularly for words derived from masculine Latin forms.
