Perché è maschile?
Récif is masculine. While the word does derive from Arabic "رصيف" (rasīf) meaning "reef" or "pavement," the explanation for its masculine gender is imprecise. In French, words ending in -f are typically masculine (e.g., neuf, chef, motif), which better accounts for récif's gender than the broader claim about consonant-final words. The Arabic borrowing into Old French is plausible given medieval Mediterranean trade, but the masculine gender is primarily maintained due to the -f ending pattern in French rather than Romance language conventions about consonant-final words.
