Perché è masculine?

Éclair is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "esclaire" and Latin roots related to brightness/clarity, the specific claim about "exclarare" (to brighten) is not well-supported. The word likely comes from Latin "ex-" + "clarus" (clear/bright), developing into the Old French noun "esclaire." The masculine gender is simply the gender this noun took in Old French and has retained in Modern French, though the specific mechanism of gender assignment from Latin is not clearly determined by this particular etymological path.
