"from a noun whose grammatical gender is masculine."

English (language) strips gender from nouns. La table is the table, das wasser is the water, we only have one definite article in English. Tyrant does not proscribe a gender in English in the same way that the direct translation for vir is man (cf virile etc). Greeks might have assumed that a tyrant was male but the word does not mean "man that is a tyrant".

Anyway, I was taking the piss. lol 8) etc
