Why is it masculine?

Camion is masculine in Italian. It is a borrowed word from French "camion" (truck), which entered Italian in the early 20th century. While the word does have Romance etymological roots, the gender assignment in Italian is primarily due to the masculine gender of the French source word "camion," which Italian adopted along with the word itself. The exact Latin etymological path is less certain and less relevant to understanding why the word is masculine in modern Italian, since it arrived as a complete borrowing from French rather than evolving naturally from Latin.
