Why is it masculine?
Crépuscules is masculine because it derives from the Latin "crepusculum," which was neuter in Latin but was reanalyzed as masculine in Old French. The word was influenced by analogy with other masculine nouns ending in -le, and the final -e in the French form contributed to its reanalysis as a masculine noun rather than following the typical neuter pattern.
