Etymology 2
As etymology 1, but possibly via or influenced by. The shift to masculine gender may be explained by French influence, as Latin neuter nouns regularly become masculine in French, or it may result from a reanalysis of the Latin i-declension as an o-declension, since in o-declension nouns, which are very common, the ending -us is regularly an indicator of masculine gender. Likewise the loss of the Latin plural could be explained either by an influence of the French word or simply by a lack of awareness of the original Latin.
