Why is it masculine?
Panneau is masculine because it derives from Latin "pannus" (cloth or piece of fabric), which was a masculine noun, and French retained this grammatical gender through regular sound changes that produced the modern form. The word's masculine gender reflects its direct inheritance from the Latin masculine declension rather than following any productive French gender rule.
