Why is it masculine?
Serveur is masculine because it derives from the Latin "servus" (male servant), which carried masculine gender, and French retained this grammatical gender through the suffix "-eur" (a typically masculine agent noun ending). The feminine form "serveuse" was later created to denote a female server, but the base word preserved its original Latin masculine assignment.
