Why is it masculine?

Garages is masculine in French. While it does derive from the verb "garer" (to park/shelter), the gender of "garage" is not determined by a reliable grammatical rule. French nouns derived from verbs do not consistently follow predictable gender patterns. The masculinity of "garage" is best understood as a lexical fact established by usage rather than derivable from a systematic rule, similar to other -age nouns in French which are typically masculine (e.g., "village", "message", "passage").
