Why is it masculine?
Député is masculine because it derives from the Latin "deputatus" (past participle of "deputare," meaning to assign or appoint). In French, words ending in "-é" that come from Latin past participles typically retain the gender of their Latin origins. The masculine gender persisted in French even though the role is now held by people of any gender, making it a historical artifact of the word's Latin masculine form.
