Phénomène is masculine because it derives from Latin "phænomenon," which is a neuter noun in Latin but was adopted into Old French as masculine, following the general pattern where most Latin neuter nouns became masculine in Romance languages. The word ultimately traces back to Greek "phainomenon" (that which appears), and its grammatical gender shifted during the transition from Latin to French.
