Perché è masculine?
Cimetière is masculine because it derives from Latin "caemetērium," which came from Greek "koimētērion" (sleeping place). Latin neuter nouns ending in "-ium" typically became masculine in Old French through a regular sound change process. The French ending "-ière" in this word is not the productive feminine suffix "-ière" (as in "boulangère"), but rather the result of the Latin accusative form "caemetērium" evolving phonetically.
