Why is it masculine?
Mouvement is masculine because it derives from the Latin "movimentum," a noun formed from the verb "movere" (to move). Latin nouns ending in "-mentum" were neuter in classical Latin, but when these words were inherited by Old French, they underwent gender shift and became masculine. This pattern applies to most French nouns ending in "-ment," which are typically masculine.
