Why is it masculine?
Réveils is masculine. It derives from the Old French verb "reveillier" (to wake up), which comes from Latin "re-" (again) + "vigilare" (to watch/stay awake). The noun "réveil" (meaning awakening or alarm clock) inherited the masculine gender from the Latin root "vigilare," following the pattern where French nouns derived from verbs often take the masculine gender, particularly for abstract nouns and nominalizations.
