Pourquoi est-ce masculin ?
Cerveau is masculine because it derives from Latin "cerebrum," which was neuter in classical Latin. However, the neuter ending "-um" in Latin was typically reanalyzed as a masculine ending in Old French, causing many Latin neuter nouns to become masculine in French. Additionally, "cerveau" belongs to the "-eau" noun class in modern French, which is predominantly masculine, reinforcing its masculine gender.
