Why is it masculine?
Mystère is masculine. It derives from Latin "mysterium" (neuter), which was adopted into Old French and reanalyzed as masculine. However, the gender is not primarily due to the "-e" ending pattern, as many French feminine nouns also end in "-e" (e.g., "mère," "père" are actually masculine exceptions). The masculine gender of "mystère" is better explained by the reanalysis of the Latin neuter form into the masculine gender class during the transition to Old French, a common pattern for many neuter Latin nouns.
