Is the word ours masculine or feminine?

The word "ours" is neither masculine nor feminine.

"Ours" is a possessive pronoun, which means it indicates ownership. Possessive pronouns are gender-neutral, so they don't have a masculine or feminine form.

For example:

* Ours is the red car. (It could be a car owned by two men, two women, or a man and a woman).

* The book is ours. (The book could belong to any combination of genders).
