¿Por qué es masculine?
Negocios is masculine because it derives from Latin "negotium," which was a neuter noun in classical Latin but became masculine in Spanish and other Romance languages. The Latin root combines "neg-" (not) and "otium" (leisure), literally meaning "not leisure" or business. During the transition from Latin to Romance languages, many neuter nouns shifted to either masculine or feminine gender, and "negotium" became masculine in Spanish.
