Why is it masculine?
Repas is masculine because it derives from the Latin "repastus," which became the noun "repastum" (meal). French inherited this word as a masculine noun, and its masculine gender was preserved through the phonetic evolution from Latin to Old French to Modern French. The word's form in French does not follow a typical "-as" ending pattern that would suggest a consistent gender rule; rather, its gender is maintained through direct inheritance from Latin.
