Waarom is het mannelijk?
Mensonges is masculine. It derives from Latin "mentionem" (accusative of "mentio," meaning utterance), which was feminine. However, the Old French word evolved from "mentir" (to lie) with the agentive/abstract suffix "-songe," following patterns of other abstract nouns ending in "-songe" such as "songe" (dream), which are masculine. The masculine gender became established through analogy with other masculine nouns sharing this suffix pattern.
