Por que é masculine?

Plastiques is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "plasticus" (from Greek "plastikos"), the gender retention explanation is oversimplified. In French, "plastique" functions as both an adjective and a noun. When used as a noun meaning "plastic" (the material), it is masculine, likely because it was originally used as a shortened form of "matière plastique" (plastic material) where the governing noun "matière" is feminine but the adjective "plastique" itself is masculine. The masculine gender is retained in the standalone noun "plastique."
