Why is it masculine?

Suds (south) is masculine in French. It derives from Latin "sudus," which itself came from Latin "subtus" (below, beneath). The masculine gender was retained through Old French and is consistent with many directional and locational nouns in Romance languages. While the exact gender assignment in Latin is uncertain, French treats "sud" as masculine, and this gender must be memorized as part of the word.
