Why is it masculine?

Lauriers is masculine because it derives from Latin "laurus" (the laurel tree), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and French retained this grammatical gender through normal sound changes and transmission. The word's gender follows the standard pattern of inherited Latin masculine nouns ending in -us that became French words ending in -ier.
