Waarom is het mannelijk?

Travaux is masculine in French. While it does derive from the Latin "tripalium" (a three-pronged agricultural or torture instrument), the gender retention from Latin to French is not reliably predictable and cannot be explained solely by semantic association with pain or labor. French grammatical gender is largely arbitrary from a modern perspective, and the masculine gender of "travail" is simply a historical accident of how this word evolved through Old French, rather than being preserved due to the semantic content of painful labor.
