Why is it masculine?
Volets is masculine. While it does derive from Old French with the diminutive suffix "-et," the etymology and gender explanation requires clarification. The word likely comes from "vol" (flight, related to Latin "volare" meaning to fly) rather than from Latin "vola" (palm of the hand). The suffix "-et" typically produces masculine nouns in French, which accounts for the masculine gender of "volet." The connection to "shutter" or "panel" developed from the notion of something that moves or flies open.
