Why is it masculine?

Hommes descends from Latin "homo" (meaning man/human), which was masculine in Latin. The word retained its masculine gender through Old French to modern French. However, "homme" is not actually an exception to modern French gender patterns—it follows the regular pattern where most words derived from Latin masculine nouns remain masculine in French. The masculine gender is inherited from its Latin ancestor through regular phonetic and morphological development.
