Por que é masculine?

Tigre is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "tigris," which was borrowed from Greek "tigris" (τίγρις), the gender assignment in French is better explained by the word's Latin origin as a masculine noun (tigris, -is) and the general pattern that most French nouns ending in -e that come from Latin masculine nouns of the third declension tend to retain masculine gender, despite the -e ending often being associated with feminine nouns in modern French.
