Why is this

It is because gender is grammatical, and is based on the form of a word, not on whether the word seems a certain gender in real life.

Bite down on one and find out how masculine it is.
It will never be "masculjne"

That's the point
You would think that this word in particular would be grammatically masculine rather than neuter

@previous (Syntax)> Ya No what Mark Twain wood say about this
So lets be clear about wot Mark Twain said.
I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.
Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination.
I have no respect for a man who can spell a word only one way.
Never trust anyone who can’t spell a word more than one way.
Mark Twain says that he must have little genius who can’t spell a word in more than one way.
I never had any large respect for good spelling. That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters and also added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a doubtful benevolence to us.

It’s English now. And by golly, the English language was built on beating foreign words into submission.
