Why is it masculine?
Temps is masculine because it derives from Latin "tempus," which was a neuter noun. During the evolution from Latin to French, the neuter gender was lost in Romance languages. Latin neuter nouns with the nominative ending "-us" (like tempus) were typically reanalyzed as masculine nouns, following the pattern of masculine nouns in French. The word "temps" retained masculine gender through this phonetic and morphological evolution.
