Why is it masculine?
Gouvernement is masculine because it derives from the Latin "gubernamentum," which inherited the neuter suffix "-mentum" but shifted to masculine gender in Old French, following the pattern where most Latin neuter nouns became masculine in Romance languages. The "-ment" suffix in French consistently produces masculine nouns, a trait inherited from this Latin neuter origin that was reinterpreted as masculine during the evolution from Latin to French.
