Why is it masculine?
Propriétaire is masculine because it derives from Latin "proprietarius," an agent noun formed with the suffix "-arius." In French, this Latin masculine ending was adapted into the "-aire" suffix, and "propriétaire" retained the masculine gender of its Latin origin. Like other French nouns ending in "-aire" derived from Latin "-arius" (such as "salaire," "locataire"), it remains grammatically masculine even when referring to people of any gender.
