Fichiers is masculine because it is a noun derived from the French verb "ficher" (to file or to drive in) with the agent/object noun suffix "-ier". In French, nouns formed with the "-ier" suffix are typically masculine, following the pattern of similar nouns like "panier" (basket) and "métier" (trade/loom). The modern computing sense of "fichier" (file) developed from this same root, maintaining the masculine gender.
