Por que é masculine?

Volcan is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "vulcanus" (the Roman god of fire), the gender assignment is better explained by the Latin masculine nominative ending "-us," which typically became masculine nouns in French. Most French nouns ending in "-an" are masculine, following a predictable pattern rather than being purely exceptional. The word retained its masculine gender through regular sound changes and gender patterns during the evolution from Latin to French.
