Waarom is het mannelijk?

Lycée is masculine despite its "-ée" ending. While it does derive from Latin "lyceum" (referring to Aristotle's school), the gender retention is better explained by the fact that French nouns ending in "-ée" can be either masculine or feminine, and "lycée" belongs to a small group of masculine nouns with this ending (similar to "musée," "pied," and "nez" in other forms). The masculine gender was maintained from the Latin neuter form, which typically became masculine in French rather than feminine.
