Why is it masculine?
Écran is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "escran," the gender assignment is better explained by the word's ending in "-an" and its historical development in French, where it became part of the masculine noun class. The Frankish etymology (from "skrank") is plausible, but the claim that "Frankish loanwords in French typically followed masculine gender patterns" is an overgeneralization that cannot be reliably applied as a rule, since French gender assignment is complex and influenced by multiple factors beyond etymological origin.
