Why is it masculine?
Garçons (boy) is masculine in French. The word derives from Old French "garçon," which originally meant "servant" or "young man." While the exact Latin origin is debated among scholars, the word likely comes from a Germanic source or Frankish origin rather than directly from Latin "vassus." Regardless of its ultimate origin, French inherited or established its masculine gender through historical grammatical transmission. The masculine gender is conventional and does not reflect inherent meaning—the word is masculine simply because it has been treated as such throughout French linguistic history.
