Why is it masculine?
Système is masculine because it derives from Latin "systema," which is neuter in Latin but was reanalyzed as masculine in Old French, likely due to its ending in "-ème" being associated with masculine nouns like "problème" and "théorème." This represents a common pattern where Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender in Romance languages.
