Why is it masculine?
Fenouil (fennel) is masculine because it derives from the Latin "foeniculum," which was a neuter noun in Latin but became masculine in Old French, following the regular sound changes where Latin neuter nouns tended to shift to masculine gender in Romance languages. This shift occurred because the neuter gender largely disappeared from French, with most neuter nouns reassigning to either masculine or feminine based on their endings and usage patterns.
