Is the French word impermeable masculine or feminine?

The French word "imperméable" is masculine.

It's a bit tricky because it ends in "-e", which often indicates a feminine noun. However, "imperméable" is derived from the verb "imperméabiliser" (to make waterproof), which is masculine.

Therefore, you would say "un imperméable" (a raincoat) and "l'imperméable" (the raincoat).
