Why is it masculine?
Départ is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "dispartire" (to divide or separate), the masculine gender is more directly attributable to the Old French suffix "-art" (from Latin "-atum"), which typically produced masculine nouns. The noun "départ" follows the pattern of French action nouns derived from Latin past participles, which were commonly masculine when they retained the suffix "-art."
