Perché è masculine?

Chocolat is masculine in French. The word derives from Spanish "chocolate," which came from Nahuatl "xocolatl." When the word entered French in the 17th century, it was assigned masculine gender. However, the claim that Spanish "chocolate" influenced the French gender is questionable—Spanish "chocolate" is actually masculine as well, but this may be coincidental rather than the direct cause of French gender assignment. French gender for loanwords is often arbitrary and depends on how the word was integrated into the language, rather than following strict etymological rules.
