Perché è masculine?

Coton is masculine in French. It derives from Arabic "qutn" (قطن), which entered Old French through trade routes during medieval times. The word retained masculine gender, likely following the gender conventions of the source language and patterns of similar material nouns in Romance languages. However, the gender assignment for this loanword is ultimately arbitrary and does not follow a predictable grammatical principle.
