Why is it masculine?
Ponts is masculine because it derives from Latin "pons" (nominative), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and French retained this gender classification when the word evolved through Vulgar Latin into Old French and Modern French. Like many French nouns, its gender is ultimately inherited from its Latin ancestor rather than following a predictable rule based on its modern form.
