Why is it masculine?
Ventre is masculine because it derives from Latin "ventrem" (accusative of "venter"), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and French retained this grammatical gender when the word evolved phonetically into "ventre." The Latin root itself likely comes from an Indo-European base related to concepts of swelling or distension, though the gender assignment appears arbitrary rather than motivated by linguistic rules.
