Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Oxígenos is masculine because it ends in "-o", which is the standard masculine singular ending in Spanish. The word derives from French "oxygène" (from Greek roots oxy- meaning "sharp" and -gen meaning "producer"), and when adopted into Spanish, it took on the masculine gender typical of words ending in "-o". The Latin form "oxigenum" mentioned in the original rule is not actually the direct source; rather, the word entered Spanish through French during the 18th century when oxygen was discovered, and it followed the productive masculine pattern of Spanish nouns ending in "-o".
