Why is it masculine?
Caso is masculine because it descends from Latin "casus," which was masculine in the second declension (nominative singular ending in -us), a gender pattern that Italian preserved when the Latin ending dropped to create modern Italian -o words. The semantic connection to "fall" or "chance" (from Latin "cadere," to fall) reflects its original meaning as a noun of action.
