Why is it masculine?
Rouge is an adjective (not a noun) meaning "red" in French. It is considered masculine in its base form, though as an adjective it agrees with the gender of the noun it modifies. The word derives from Latin "rubeus" (red), and while the etymology is plausible, the gender assignment is misleading: French color adjectives are typically invariable or follow standard adjective agreement patterns rather than retaining inherent gender from Latin masculine forms. The masculine designation here reflects grammatical convention for citation forms rather than a historical retention of Latin masculine gender.
