Why is it masculine?
Albero is masculine because it derives from Latin "arborem" (accusative of "arbor"), which was a feminine noun. In Italian, the nominative form "arbor" was reanalyzed, and the word underwent a sound change where Latin -or became -ero in Italian. The gender assignment to masculine in Italian appears to reflect influence from the Latin nominative stem rather than the expected feminine gender inheritance, though the exact mechanism of this gender shift in this particular word is not entirely clear from standard etymological sources.
