Why is it masculine?
Lien is masculine in French. It derives from the Latin "ligamen" (neuter), but the masculine gender assignment in French is better explained by the productive masculine ending "-en" in Old French and analogy with similar masculine nouns. While Latin gender did not always transfer directly to French due to phonetic erosion and analogical processes, the exact mechanism of gender reassignment for this particular word is not entirely clear from historical records. The masculine form became the standard in Modern French.
