Why is it masculine?
Médicament is masculine because it derives from the Latin "medicamentum," a neuter noun. In Old French, Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" typically became masculine through regular sound changes, as the neuter gender collapsed into the masculine gender in Romance languages. The "-um" ending regularly developed into the French "-ment" suffix.
