Why is it masculine?

Fond is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "fundus" (masculine), meaning "bottom" or "foundation," and French retained the grammatical gender of its Latin source words. This is a regular pattern rather than an exception—most French nouns inherited their gender directly from Latin.
