Why is it masculine?

Éviers is masculine. While it does derive from the Latin "aquarium" (water container), the etymology provided is incomplete. The word actually comes from Old French "evier" which developed from Latin "aquarium." In French, the word is masculine, though the reason is primarily due to the historical sound changes and gender assignment patterns during the evolution from Latin to Old French rather than a straightforward neuter-to-masculine shift. The masculine gender became established in Old French and has remained consistent in Modern French.
