Why is it masculine?
Locataire is a noun meaning "tenant" and can be used in both masculine and feminine forms (un locataire / une locataire) depending on the gender of the person referred to. However, the base form "locataire" is grammatically masculine. It derives from the Latin "locatarius," which inherited masculine gender from Latin's "-arius" suffix, a productive masculine ending for agent nouns. This masculine gender was maintained through Old French into Modern French as "-aire," which preserves the masculine default gender, even though the word can be used with feminine agreement when referring to a female tenant.
