Why is it masculine?
Laits is masculine. It derives from Latin "lac" (nominative) / "lactis" (genitive), which was a neuter noun. When Romance languages evolved, most Latin neuter nouns were reassigned to either masculine or feminine gender. In French, "lac/lactis" became masculine, likely because the nominative form "lac" (ending in a consonant) naturally fell into the masculine declension pattern during the evolution from Latin to Old French.
