Perché è masculine?

Moustiques is masculine in French. While it does derive from Portuguese "mosquito" (diminutive of "mosca," meaning fly), which comes from Latin "musca," the gender assignment in French is not primarily explained by retention of source language gender. Rather, "moustique" is masculine because French nouns ending in "-ique" are typically masculine, and this pattern was applied to the borrowed word. The masculine gender became conventionalized through French usage.
