Why is it masculine?

Diplômes is masculine. It derives from Latin "diploma" (neuter), which came from Greek "diplōma" (meaning a folded document). When Latin neuter nouns were redistributed into French masculine and feminine categories during language evolution, "diploma" became masculine. The -ôme ending in French typically signals masculine gender (as seen in words like "symptôme," "atôme," "arôme"), which helped reinforce this word's masculine classification.
