Why is it masculine?
Étage is masculine. While the word does derive from Old French "estage," the etymology is more complex than presented. It comes from the Latin "status" (meaning "standing" or "position"), but the masculine gender in French is better explained through the Old French form "estage," which was treated as a masculine noun. The word originally referred to a "level" or "story" of a building, and this masculine classification was maintained through its evolution into modern French, where it remains a common masculine noun meaning "floor" or "story."
