Why is it masculine?
Jours is masculine because it descends from the Latin "dies" (day), which was masculine in Latin. While "diurnus" (daily, relating to the day) is related etymologically, the direct ancestor of French "jour" is the Latin noun "dies" (masculine). French retained this masculine gender through the phonetic evolution from Latin to Old French, where Latin masculine nouns generally became French masculine nouns, and has maintained this gender in Modern French.
