Perché è masculine?

Adulte is feminine in French. It derives from the Latin "adulta" (feminine form of "adultus"), which became the feminine adjective "adulte" in Old French. In French, this word functions as both an adjective and a noun, and when used as a noun meaning "adult," it can be either masculine or feminine depending on the person being referred to (un adulte = a male adult, une adulte = a female adult). The base form "adulte" itself is not inherently gendered as a standalone word but agrees with the noun it modifies.
