Why is it masculine?
Documents is masculine in French. It derives from Latin "documentum" (from "docere," meaning to teach). While Latin "documentum" was technically neuter, French inherited it as a masculine noun. Most Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" did evolve into masculine forms in Romance languages, but this is not an exception—it follows the typical pattern. The masculine gender should be learned as the standard form for this word in French.
