Ascensori is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ascensorius," which retained masculine gender through Italian's evolution of Latin noun endings (the -o ending typically signals masculine gender in Italian). The word literally means "one who ascends" or "that which ascends," and maintained its masculine classification from its Latin ancestor.
