Perché è masculine?

Oncles is masculine because it derives from Latin "avunculus" (originally meaning "maternal uncle"), which is a diminutive form of "avus" (grandfather), and Latin grammatical gender was retained when the word entered Old French. The gender simply stuck with the word through regular language evolution rather than following any productive modern rule.
