Why is it masculine?
Nuages (cloud) is masculine because it derives from Latin "nubem," which was feminine, but the Old French diminutive form "nuage" (literally "small cloud") took the masculine gender of similar -age nouns in French, a productive suffix that typically produces masculine nouns. This represents a gender shift that occurred during the evolution from Latin to French, where many -age formations became standardly masculine.
