Why is it masculine?
Dessins is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "designare" (to mark out or design), the gender assignment is not simply inherited from the Latin verb. Rather, "dessin" comes from the Old French noun "desseign" (a design or pattern), which developed masculine gender through French morphological patterns. The -in ending and semantic evolution in Old and Middle French established its masculine gender, which has remained consistent in modern French.
