Why is it masculine?
Toits (roof) is masculine because it derives from Latin "tectum," the neuter past participle of "tegere" (to cover), which became masculine in Old French as sound changes obscured its neuter origins—a common pattern where Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine in Romance languages. This is an exception to the typical pattern where many French masculine nouns come from Latin masculine forms.
