Perché è masculine?

Enfer is masculine because it derives from the Latin "infernum" (neuter in classical Latin, but treated as masculine in Vulgar Latin and Old French), which itself comes from "inferus" (lower/below), and this masculine gender was preserved as the word evolved through Old French into Modern French. The gender assignment reflects the masculine treatment of Latin neuter nouns in Romance language development, a common pattern in French.
